Some of my favorites here. (2) 44 and (2) 357. Preference for the Light Hunters; the balance is just amazing. Competitors have a slight advantage for double action pulls.

Traditionalists often don't like the more modern styling of your guns but I do. I think they're quite handsome and you should be pleased with those 4. Don

Edited to add that the checkered grips are also very handsome.

Beautiful guns and I love the Nill grips too. The Light Hunters make for wonderful shooting guns. I own a couple similar to yours but never ran across the all SS finish gun at a price I was willing to pay. The Scope Only gun was unfired (except at the factory) but I changed that and am sooo glad I did. It's one of my favorite guns to take to the range. Thanks for showing off.

You lost me there. :confused:

Correct me if I’m wrong.

The competitors are weighted and have a heavier barrel. This weight helps to keep the muzzle steady on the double action pull. Weights are available to you liking, spacers can be added if too heavy.

Yes, the Competitors, like most of the Hunters and Magnum Hunters, have the adjustable weights in the under lug

If you look close, you will notice that one of the revolvers in the first post has no weights or spacers in it at all while the other one looks like all spacers except it has a weight at the muzzle

Thanks Don. I am lucky to have some traditional ones. I recently snagged a 1960 29 no dash that is a real daisy.

Some of the best revolvers ever made right there. Ya done good!

They sure shoot well and are nicely different than the more classic S&W revolvers.

Have drooled over your scope only a few times. What a sleek beast that one is!

Of the 4 guns I posted, the 2 Competitors have a lighter DA pull. The RSRs are plenty smooth, but if asked which DA pull is better, I would say the Competitors. That is all I meant.

Yes, just from the last time I cleaned it, I removed them all and they are not back in place in the photo.
