Well, I guess I'll have to eat my words. I sold the S&W Centennial Pre Model 40. It was more of a collector and I didn't want to shoot it. I got tired of looking at it, then putting it back in the safe. No more collectors for me. I took the funds (plus some) and bought a 1995 S&W 686-4 2.5"and 1994 S&W 66-4 2.5". The 686 has the smoothest single action pull. No regrets!
