I grew up with them...
My Dad had a 1917 and my Grandfather had a New Service 45 Colt. They are well-built and accurate, but not quite as user friendly for people with normal sized hands as the Smiths. I wear XL gloves and have a tough time getting a proper grip on them, while the N-frames are quite comfortable.
