Back when the 201 came out, I lived about as far as I could live from Omaha and still be in Iowa. But always looking for an excuse to go look at guns, I drove out there. I was underwhelmed. I wasn't a Model 23 fan either. I was a Repro fan. The 201 just didn't do itfor me. I'd been out to Omaha when they were handling the last of the Japanese made SKB sxs. I had some interest in those. They put straight grips together with slimmer forends on some of those. I wrote in an article that they had all the right pieces together on some of those guns. Then theystopped importing them.
