Yes, a very plain one with a trigger job is really hard to beat. I have a satin nickel model that I bought in about 1980. It is unmodified EXCEPT for a 3.5 pound CRISP trigger. It shoots ALMOST as well as a Wilson that I bought about 20 years ago.

My most reliable is a Stainless officers model that I had a trigger job done on. It has NEVER jammed or hesitated in ANY way.

I have a nice nickel one that I bought at a gun show about ten years ago. It is built from a very early serial number Army frame with a Series 70 slide. I don't know anything about it's history, but it outshoots any of my others and it cost less than any of them, except maybe the satin nickel one that I bought new. I don't remember how much it cost, it seems like I remember it was $389 or something.

The satin nickle finish went bad, so it is now my carry gun. I can throw it in the glove box or whatever and not worry about messing it up.
