[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4334883, member: 46104"] We are the two standing members of The Smith & Wesson Distinguished Service Magnum Mutual Admiration Society, TSAWDSMMAS for easy to recall acronym, and since you started the thread, you can be The Prez For Life, and I shall be The Veep, you getting 2/3rds membership dues, and me getting 1/3 if we ever get any other members stupid...err, enthused, enough to pay dues. I had wiped mine down while cleaning, but last time took a non-scratching brass toothbrush (not all are non-scratching, I have found) and went over the gun with solvent, and was amazed at what lifted off/out of surface, a fine collection of old sweat, dried lube/cleaners in fine scratches/pores and likely haze of super thin oxidation....I know the photos taken do not show much difference, but it went from hazed dull stainless to appearing a bright used nickel look in person, and was most pleased. I admire the utility of adjustable sights, but have always admired the smoothback looks, snag-free draw, and ruggedness of fixed sights from the SAA on forward, and the later S&W fixed sights among the very best in visibility and snag-free, the L-frame the Medium Heavy Duty. PS- still looking forward to the modern Viper review and photos and weigh-in....all stainless and quoted weight pretty amazing, looks to be a very thin walled barrel and yet with rib and underlug, but still....a Detective Special frame? VERY cool concept for carry and at Blackhawk MSRP in MUCH nicer finish. [/QUOTE]
