Revolver Showdown

Jerry Miculek compares a S&W L-Frame against a Colt Python and a Ruger Speed Six. He admits it to us that he is a little biased since he has been shooting for S&W for the past 25 years. After the test firing he does a table top talk and breaks down the features of each one. The table top discussion does seem a bit biased and heavy towards the S&W line of revolvers but that is to be expected.

I used to have to renew my carry permit every year when I was an armed guard on the CA race tracks. Without fail I would be shooting to someone carrying an S&W of some kind. Without letting the instructor see us I would let them switch to my Python and they always improved their score. I also have a beautiful S&W with bluing that rivals the Colt. I love that gun, but I had it ported and now it leads up the front sight and spits powder and whatever back in my face. Don't ever port a beautiful Python or S&W. It may be just from the kind of porting I got, but I can't remember the name. If I recall the name I will post it as I don't want to see this happen to anyone else. Oh, yeah, I forgot, the S&W model 28 (I think, or is it 29, well anyway it is the higher level one now in my safe, has the 3 1/2 inch bbl. No one ever believed me that S&W made a 3 1/2 inch bbl. I guess there were very few of them. IMHO, the Ruger is a LOT tougher gun than either the Colt or the S&W.
Give me a Python / Anaconda anyday. I can kick myself for not buying one when I had a chance.
