I used to have a third model Smith & Wesson New Departure Safety Hammerless. It was very well made but grossly underpowered for self-defence use. The long heavy double action pull was to help make the revolver safer around small children. The idea was that a little child would not have the strength to fire the piece if found unattended. Although I'm sure it did not stop the little tikes from trying
They were made in two calibers (.32 S&W Short and .38 S&W). About a quarter million were made in both calibers over a 53 year production run. They were too good to throw away so a large number have probably survived
