Read thru this post again, and something came to mind. If you check around at a couple gun shows or 2, or check a couple of the internet gun brokers, you might find a S&W model DX. Smith back in the late 80's and early 90's, had what they termed model DX. What they were, was when they factory tested the gun, if it showed exceptional accuracy, it was pulled. It was rechecked, tuned up, and sights refined, and in general gone over by what was then, their custom shop. I remember talking to a S&W rep at the IHMSA Intl's when it was in Oak Ridge.TN. Only about 3 out of 100 guns fell into that catagory. They had some in .44 and .357. Always wanted to lay my hands on one, but never had the money, when one showed up. Last time I seen one, owner was asking $800, and it was in .44 cal. gypsyman
