Couldn't hurt.
I'm more of a Colt and CZ loyalist myself, but every gunshow I go to, I keep an eye out for a nice S&W M25 or M57. Love to find one blued w/ about a 4-5" barrel. It seems the ones people want to part with are either nickel plated or have ridiculously shortened or long barrels.
What about Colt, Mossberg and Glock?
