[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1014742, member: 385"] S&W, Colt & Ruger have made many good wheel guns. There is a S&W collectors forum that's worth some of your time. The FAQ's posted there are helpful. [url]http://smith-wessonforum.com/[/url] Q #1: In theory, pinned barrels may be more accurate. The non-pinned barrels are torqued into place; I have seen some barrel interiors of non-pins that seem to have the interior bore spec's reduced in the area of the frame. Q #2: The evil lock mechanism may fail rarely(evidence does exist of this happening) locking the revolver "safe" at the worst possible time. Additionally the IL is just plain ugly and unnecessary, if proper gun safety rules are followed. Q #3: No dash means it is the initial model, not a revised later model. Model numbers (on more recent guns) are marked on the frame under the crane. Examples: Mod 66, Mod 66-2. Q #4: No "bad" revolvers; a few less than perfect semi-autos. [/QUOTE]
