The beauty of an LC Smith!!! smile
You, Sir- have the co-ordinates 100% right-- I have a "using" 12- a OO made in 1911- 28" Armor steel, DT, Ext--good stock dims-- it ain't a Monogram, but it shoots, locks up like a Nun's purse, fits me like a Armani suit fits Tony Soprano--Smiths are indeed, the finest sidelock double ever made in America.
