I have both the Colt and S&W. The Colt is my favorite revolver, after my 1878 S&W No. 3 44 Russian. I use both 45acp with moon clips and 45ar. The action of the Colt is butter smooth, but the grip huge and requires a very large hand. The S&W 1917, by comparison, is much easier to handle but not as smooth. Balance with Colt is superior also. Not committed to one brand over the other. Gotta say tho, my Colt Anaconda 44mag shoots much better than my Dirty Harry Model 29. Really, it’s like trying choose between blondes,
Brunettes, and redheads—I like them all!
Sexiss, raciss and gun lover. I'll bet you are an old, white missoginissst.
My pick is redheads for fun, and brunettes for stability.
Too many dumb blonde jokes, but like a fine cognac excellent choice in moderation {when heated}.
