As others have said, my DW's have been accurate. Scary accurate. They are well made and I have not had any problems with mine.

The tensioned barrel setup and the front lockup aids in the accuracy overall.

Now saying they are better than an S&W is another kettle of fish. Head to head accuracy? Probably they are. Head to head better fit and finish? Depends on the individual specimen. DW's quality control was quite random at times so one could be great and the next is pass it by. S&W's was more consistent.

Now if you take say a DW Monson 44 mag and put it to a S&W 29, the DW will take it on accuracy, on flexibility and maybe on finish. The S&W will take it on accessories, ease of handing and handiness.

What matters to you the most?
