[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2573223, member: 3099"] To be totally honest with you I do like my old school, all forged S&W revos, but like I said, [I][U]in all honesty[/U][/I] if they would ditch that damn lock, they would be hard pressed to make a better gun. Their machining today is far better than they have ever been at any time before. And MIM trigger parts are basically just a drop in affair when a replacement is needed, they polish up better and with less work than any forged part ever did and you end up with a lighter action in the end with less work. Yes, I've worked and tuned several of each variety, and there just isn't any comparing them. All that really needs to be done to a brand new production gun is swap out some springs, polish a couple of spots with nothing more than a cotton fob and rouge or you can just forego the polishing altogether and dry fire it a ton. Older guns need stoning and polishing and each gun is different in the attention it needs, today not near as much. Edit: Of course there are the normal QC issues that still pop up like with everyone, but my point is still valid. [/QUOTE]
