Old S&W K-Frames are my favorite, then post-war Colts.

Desert Dog,
Heck, even Tauruses and Colts have good SA triggers. Real revolvers have nice DA pulls...

Gotta agree with Tamara... DA trigger matters.
The absolute, no question, nicest DA trigger of any sort I've *ever* used was on a old, box-stock Python. Slick. Like olive oil on Teflon-coated black ice slick. On the other hand, sub-par Python triggers are just plain strange. Not outright crap like a Ruger Redhawk, but just WRONG in some different way.
S&W seems the most consistently good of the bunch.

Ruger (w/ a little smoothing of the action). Although I mostly smooth the action by shooting the pi$$ out of "em.

i do admire the Smiths, my 657 being my all time favorite.
when i want to raise dust and cause leaves to fall, i use my Rugers.
that said, i appreciate any well made firearm in any caliber. it does not need to be pretty. functional and accurate. simple criteria.
just like em. am i sick. do i need treatment. could be.

Tamara,
You have a conversion kit laying around for my Blackhawk DA trigger pull? It is really lousy...

Dan Wessons and older Smith & Wessons.
Also a Colt SAA slicked up by Bob Munden was very impressive. You can't imagine how smooth that action and trigger are...

While I like my S&W's and would put my life on the line with them, I love my Colts ( 2 Pythons, 1 Gov't Model Series 70 MK IV, 1 AR-15 SP1).

Any revolver that shoots reliably, make doesn't matter!!!
I know, my signature line might lead you to believe that I'm a brand snob. Though I admit a preference for Smiths old and new (gotta love that entirely predictable 2-stage DA pull), I've got nothing against the other makes and would like to add others in the future, like a 2.75" Ruger Security Six, a Cimarron Model P or Uberti 1873 Cattleman in 45 Colt, and maybe a Colt Det Special one day. I used to own a Heritage Rough Rider and a Taurus M66 that were both excellent guns, but did not fit my needs so they were sold. I do miss the Heritage, selling it was stoopid.
I should probably add a 1911 of some kind while I'm at it .
