The 3 gen. Smith autos are real sleepers, particularly the .45’s. Bull strong, they were popular for converting to .45 Mag in the 90’s.
My favorite is the 4586, a DAO... long trigger pull but smooth and not heavy, like a slicked pre-war N frame.
plus it's SS
i have an old habit of using the oldstyle canvas web shovel covers for a holster that completely covers the pistol plus additional mags(wrapped in plastic wrap&duct tape) and can be hooked to a web-belt and slung around the neck like a shoulder holster or attached to any us webgear/rucksack
and being stainless, well, that's just one more plus against the elements when it counts.
