Colt vs Smith

[funnelcake]

Saxon pretty much nailed it. Appearance is strictly in the eye of the beholder. Both are pretty good stuff and opinions will continue to vary.

Both excellent revolvers...

I don't own any colt revolvers, but there are several in my family. I am particularly fond of the Colt Diamondback .38 - a pleasure to fire and more accurate than its shooter.

However, I prefer the smooth, linear trigger action of Smith and Wesson. Purely a personal preference.

You really can't go wrong with either manufacturer here. The old Colt DA's are no longer being made, SO, plan to spend more to own/repair obviously.

Hell, I wonder if I could still get parts for my 30 year old model 19 at a reasonable price if I needed them in the future?

Shoot often, have fun

Having recently purchased a Colt Python, I did extensive comparison testing versus the S&W M27. Both had six inch barrels.

The conclusion? Whatever one could do, the other could do as well. I preferred the non-stacking trigger of the M27, but, boy, those are a pair of very fine guns.
