Yeah, the grip looks like that from a 22A. I didn't think I'd like it, there's no lower palm swell. It actually sat rock solid in the hand, and the gun pointed very well for me, and stayed where I pointed it. While dry firing (with a snap cap), the trigger had a short take up, then a crisp break. The sights stayed dead on target during the trigger pull. I do intend to test fire one during my next range trip, and if I like it, I'll probably get it. The gun strikes me as a lot for the money at $349. :P

I don't know, Randy. I think your mouth just wrote a check. Let's see if your posts and photos can cash it. :D
Don't have any pics of my own, but a quick google of S&W Model 10 brings up plenty of pics.

Grew up when M&P referred to a revolver. I'm getting less amenable as time goes by to re-imagining classics for no other purpose than to cash in on a name and/or not having enough creativity to come up with a new name. I've heard and am sure that the current generation S&W plastic fantastic combat Tupperware are fine tools that fill their intended needs. However when I hear M&P, I picture a revolver, much as when I saw the thread title my first thought was of what Rod posted.

Just like the only person to play Rooster Cogburn was the Duke, no matter what some johnnie-come-lately wanna-bes want to think. :twisted:
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".
