Chevy and Ford, Use the same gas, headlights and tires (minus the rims) and thats about it.

I once had a 1917 Colt. Being a curious guy and having taken S&W apart, I took the Colt apart too. Little leaf type springs and small parts. To me way more complicated and dependent on those little springs. That and the ejector rod out there totally free and able to snag stuff, get bent etc. To me little short light leaf and v springs are more apt to fail than coils. I believe that the S&W is the superior design.
