Photo From: JohnWill - Album: Handguns--Classic or Antique
Description: Here''s a pistol you don''t see everyday! The scarce S&W semi-auto from early in the 1900''s. After looking it over, it seems that the S&W engineers had lots of time on their hands, but didn''t use it well. The manual safety is under your hand when you hold the gun, and the grip safety is the projection from the front of the grip, which isn''t a natural place. It has a spring so powerful with the light slide that it''s impossible for the most mortals to rack the slide. S&W solved this problem by disconnecting the slide from the spring with the button on the side to chamber a round. From the looks of the inside, there was an awful lot of precision machineing required to make this gun, it had to be expensive! All in all, a very unusual pistol.
