I am considering adding this pistol to my collection. It would be my first Smith & Wesson pistol if I do get it. I like the fact that it is all steel as that is how I prefer my pistols to be built. It's also DA/SA which is what I prefer. 15 round magazine seems to be standard which is OK. The stainless steel looks great on it.
I am not familiar with the reputation of this pistol except that it was used by some police agencies then it was replaced with polymer designed pistols. Would anyone care to give their opinions on this pistol be it good or bad? It would be great to get some feedback to help me make a decision if I should look into getting this pistol.
Also I see it is easy to have it's hammer spring removed. I read that it comes with a 20# spring like the Beretta 92. Would a 16# be safe to replace the stock hammer spring and not have to worry about light primer strikes?
