Greetings All-
In the days of old, lets say the 60's [just too name a time period] Colt
advertised that their 6-shot Detective Specials weight was just 21 ozs;
while their competition, the S&W 5-shot Chief's Special weighed in
at 19 ozs. My question is, would you rather give up the extra round for a
weight consideration; or would you put up with the weight, for the benefit
of having one extra round~? I know that most will say that the S&W has a
far better trigger; and I would have too agree.
*Footnote- please keep this discussion to the two models listed; NO Cobras,
Agents, 37's, 38's, 42's and the like allowed~!
