I enjoy informal DA revolver target shooting, but don't have a real centerfire target revolver yet. I have a 1951 S&W K-22, so I was thinking of its K-38 counterpart (the K-32 will have to wait), but am also considering a Colt Officers Match. Both seem like fine examples. Never owned a Colt, though, so tell me - which is the better target revolver? Does one typically have a better trigger, or is one generally considered more accurate?
Eventually, I'd like to pick up a Colt, but I have 2 concerns in this regard: 1) If it ever needs tuning or outright repair, it seems it can be hard to find someone to work on them and 2) since I'd be using the K-22 as an "understudy", its use may be counterproductive if the Colt has a different grip & trigger feel. Of course, I could eventually accumulate a K-38 and both the .22 & .38 version of the Officers Match, but what say ye? Is the Colt a flat out better target revolver?
