I am very fortunate that I live down the road from Frank Glenn. He is a consummate gentleman and knows Smiths inside and out. He has worked on a couple of guns and I'd not hesitate to have him work on any Smith, 1911 or any other gun he indicated he would be comfortable with.

I've had one for years. Most accurate pistol I own. Love shooting it. Enjoy.

I collect high grade shooter Smith revolvers. They all get shot on occasion. The ones with that beautiful blue that Smith no longer does are babied so that they will not need to be refinished.

Larry writes the best pulpy trashy fiction. Nemesis is great. If you like the MHI series, download and enjoy.
