Now, in fairness, I do know of one, just one, Taurus wheelgun hater--but, that's different []
Now you know two.

I would “hate” to pay for one.
Some are, some are not. A "good" Colt is measurably better than either. Especially for current production....but they're NOT 400 to 900$ better than Ruger, or S&W.
I did get to meet a Colt Executive at the Camp Perry National Matches. Colt had a table of Hbars, all of which has 1:9 twist barrels. []
Well, yeah, the Honda guy has no idea the oil is supposed to drip on the exhaust manifold in an MG . . . []
Yup. It's pretty common. The typical rant is, "If you shoot a Colt, it's out of time!" The sheer ignorance of this is mind boggling; yet, it is oft repeated. By numbskulls. Exclusively.On another forum I am in a heated debate with an 85 year old firearm's "expert" convinced that Colt Manufacturing Company never made a decent double action revolver in their history and are all vastly inferior to Smith & Wesson products. Furthermore, everyone who has ever fired a revolver knows this and only a complete idiot like me would even consider owning a Colt revolver.
I have no interest in arguing the merits of this silly argument but I am curious to know if this thinking has been encountered by others here and how often? This is the first time in fifty years of gun ownership I have met someone so persuaded.
In my opinion, the Army Special, Official Police, and 357 fall into this category. Truly superb from the git-go.Colt has produced some of the finest firearms the world has ever seen.
Colt 2000. What were they thinking?! I think the Spanish Colt/Astra's were better made and were definitely better designed.They'e also produced some of the biggest turds.
Have You Known Many Colt Haters?
Left Wing.
Right Wing.
Personality Cults.
Chevy and Ford.
All the same...

If Ford and Chevy were defense aerospace companies instead of car makers, they'd have merged decades ago into GM-Ford Corporation, gone broke from mismanagement and been resurrected as, Ford-Chevy Industries, merged with their competition, stolen their best ideas and screwed them up, sold out to Russia, China, and Tehran, and bought every Congressperson on the take (which I think is only 427 of them) to avoid prosecution.Well, no. Life is not nearly as simple as you might want it to be. There are big differences existing between the samples you cited. Especially between Ford and Chevy...
I thought Willys made Jeeps???That's why God made Jeeps.
