Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Lever-Action Rifle in .44 Magnum: A Super-Short Review
The overall aesthetic of the Smith and Wesson Model 1854 is quite pleasing. I have always liked the combination of black and stainless steel. The balance was on point.

Smith & Wesson could have easily just released an M&P Sport in 9mm but went the extra mile, and it shows.
