I admit that I'm constantly surprised by the Gun Tales community. Not too long ago Jim mentioned he was working on an article about Smith & Wesson break-tops, and asked if he could use my Cimarron No. 3 for the photos. But since my cylinder is currently on vacation at the custom shop, I wasn't able to help him. Fortunately, I decided to make the request on our Facebook page and asked for photos of anyone's Smith & Wesson break-top. Almost immediately, subscriber Steve Tracy answered the call and offered up the beautiful photos that accompany this article. Steve, we thank you for your quick response and are thrilled to feature such an important piece of history. —Matt Covert
