Geez, I hope you asked this same question over on the Colt Forum, fair play and all. I wonder how many over there would pick the Smith over the Colt??

There is an alternative however, the SMOLT or as some would call it the SMYTHON. I guess it depends on where your loyalties lie...........

As for me, I love my Python, but I gotta tell you, the Smith action is just so much more workable..........smooth. The Python action is juicy, whereas the Smith action is crisp. Sorry, best analogy I could come up with on short notice!
