Stirring Controversy

In my experience... (second only to "no shit, there we were...")

I've found that Colt has a better trigger out of the box, but that the revolver will go out of time faster than a Smith & Wesson.

S&W's triggers "wear in" to being very good after a few hundred rounds, but can be irritating right out of the box.  S&W tends to be more durable than Colt once you have years and years of shooting it.

This position is, apparently, controversial.

It is also based on a very small sample size, I haven't bought many new revolvers.

    Carried revolvers my whole career. Pretty much found the same thing. One of the best pistols I ever handled wad a Smolt. 4" Python barrel on a S&W M19 frame. Just beautiful. Built by Tommy Shimoda. Wish I had it. Storyteller

    Hey Angus,

    I have owned several *Smifs* and a Colt and a Ruger and what you say is accurate, Colt has the name, but the Smifs to me is a more durable revolver, although my Ruger is pretty good also. My complaint is that ammo is durn expensive.
