Far as I'm concerned, the Colt will just be a much more expensive Taurus. Which means I won't be buying one. That coil spring will stack.

I looked at a Kimber the other day and was favorably impressed. Not enough to fork over $850 for a gun that still seems too heavy for a pocket revolver and unnecessarily small for a belt gun.

I also don't want to retrain my thumb to press in instead of forward to open the cylinder. Or pull back with a Colt.

I shoot a 4" M-66 in IDPA. A lot. Also a 3" M-64 (which I carry.). Also own a 66-7 and that tensioned barrel is wicked accurate. So my defensive skills are wired to the S&W K-frame platform, especially the M-66.

Thus my new gun budget for 2017 (if it hits the streets this year) will go towards a 2 3/4 M-66 for carry and competition.

Whoa, OK, I just read the Colt has a leaf spring. I'll give it a look.
