Thank you for the range report. It sounds like you had some fun with it. It's always interesting to shoot the guns that used to be carried by LEO's all around this country, and see how it felt - especially, as you discovered, sporting some of the grips they were issued with!

I suspect that the S&W vs Colt accuracy question is a lot like comparing Chevy to Ford - everyone will have their own opinion. My KCPD RM shoots a little more accurately than my Colt New Service (also in .357 magnum), but the S&W has a super-smooth trigger pull - compared to the almost new, stiffer trigger on the Colt. I just picked up a Colt Officer's Model in 22LR which I'll soon put up against my K22 - both from 1948 - to see if one is clearly superior.

Thanks for your post,

Jerry
