Kind of a complicated question. While the older, prelock S&W’s were top notch made revolvers, ALL the new stuff is JUNK, like every other US mfgd firearm of today. Favorite auto has to be Glock, the Beretta M9A3, Italian mfgd guns are of good quality also. HK’s model selection is stagnant at best, to be considered. Sig isn’t the same Sig of German/W German mfg either. Favorite revolver is definitely older, pre ‘70mfgd Colt Python!
