Consorting with the enemy (hey, its better than no consorting at all!) S&W herecy!

I went to pickup my latest online purchase.
A S&W model 629-6
44 mag. 4" bbl. While there my dealer friend
showed me a S&W model 28-2 .357 mag 4"
Highway Patrolman. Then he proceeded to show me a Colt Trooper MKIII Nickel plated .357 mag 4"bbl. Both immaculate.
Needless to say all three rode home with me in the car. Actually the Colt has the smoothest action with a beautiful trigger pull. 1000005335.jpg

Being a 45 colt guy i see the new anaconda in 45 are showing up. Wonder how they shoot.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they will likely shoot fine - I have an old one - it shoots well but I bet the trigger isn't as good as the new ones!

I need to take a pic!

In lieu of the Annaconda, here are a couple of puny Colt and S&W .357s :)

Colt Python 3in and S&W M-19 custom 4in - compressed.webp

I carried the M-19 on the Streets of Memphis in the late 70s - it was built by the Memphis PD armorer. It was a different country back then.

Riposte
 
Well, I have several brands in the safe and they all seem to get along alright but my favorite to go to the range is a S&W 19-3 with a six inch Python barrel. A few custom gunsmiths still do this conversion if you can find an older Python barrel and have more money than you need.
