New S&W's are tremendous functional machines, but there are significant differences between what they used to build and what they currently produce. I would think new S&W PP's would be far more uniform piece to piece, and generally serviceable, but I suspect a good German PP is far nicer than a brand new S&W, just based on my experience with their new and old revolvers. 
Got a chance to shoot one of these the other day, very accurate, and a FAR better trigger than I was led to believe Taurus was capable of producing. |
U mean they are building shyte now as compared to bhack in the day. The slide in quality started shortly after the end of WW2 and continued through the 80's (for all American made arms, unless you wanted to pay for it).
