I'll leave the technical details to the Colt experts but it's not an either/or for me, I enjoy my Smiths as well. If I knew my next trip to the range was my last, and I could only bring one gun, it would be my Smith 25-2.My friend has a Python and while I agree that it's smooth, I don't see what's so great about them that makes them worth two or three times as a used S&W or Ruger. On top of that I've noticed that the timing on his is a little off. It's my understanding that the Colt lockwork is more complex and possibly more fragile than most competitors. Personally, I'll leave them for the collectors and stick with shooters that I can use the hell out of and afford to replace if necessary.
