What S&W revolver of yours has the smoothest action ?

My 1955 nickel 6" pre-27 is the smoothest double action I own. Single action is a crisp 3 lbs. Never checked the double action pull poundage! Don't know why, but may get around to it in the next 10 years. Shoots as good as it looks. Gary
 
That would be "all of them" as I tend to do a trigger job on every revolver I own as soon as I bring it home. ( Yea, even the PC guns.) Life is too short for bad triggers.
 
My 640 is very smooth and shoots well with the right the right ammo. I like to bring it to the range with the 686 and 617.
 
Out of over 200 S&W revolvers that I've owned over the years, my 4" JM 625 is by far the smoothest. Built by the PC, then tuned by the PC, the action is in my opinion flawless.

Ok, you knew somebody was gonna do it - I'll take the beating.

My smoothest S&W revolver is..... a Colt Lawman III snub.

Wait!....... Before you come after me with a "hate crime" in your heart, I collect S&W's three to one over anything else. I have some Colts, Ruger's, etc. too, but S&W made, over time, 20 to one I'll bet, more models and configurations than Colt (50 to one maybe). S&W's are so much more interesting, there's almost no comparison. But, give them Colt boy's credit where credit is due, they did some fine engeineing & manufacturing. I hope they survive the labor unions - heck, I hope we all do before total national bankruptcy. We need the strongest gun industry in the world.
 
Mine is a 38/44 HD Transition that was shipped in July 1946, which is my birth year.....I sure wish I worked as smoooooth as that HD!!!
 
My '71 4" Heavy Barrel 14-3, target trigger and semi target hammer. I suspect the factory worked over the trigger when it was built. Flawless.
 
I have several S&W revolvers that I have smoothed but this 24-3 tuned by Andy Cannon is the best I own.

...the single action pull on my 1905 Target is probably a little better than on my 29-3...but the double action on the 29-3 is absolutely incredible...I don't know whose work it is...but they definitely knew what they were doing...
 
My best one is a 686-3 that I made prototype lockworks for. It is 100% with well seated Federal primers. The DA pull starts at 5 lb. and smoothly goes down to 3.5 lb. before the hammer falls. It has a crisp, snappy trigger return. The spring tension can be dialed up for any primer and still relax 1-1/2 to 2 lb. from the higher setting as the hammer goes back. I used an L frame because that's what I had available to play with. This system would work just as well on a K,L, or N frame.
 
My M 29-2 and my M19-4: both have had a bit of action work by gunsmiths who know their buisness.
 
First place goes to my six inch Model 19-3 and second place is my 10-7 snub. Both are absolute tack drivers.
 
My wife's 1993 S&W Mod. 640 Performance Center Carry Comp (it used to be mine 'til she started carrying). I know where it's smoothness came from - Vito at the Performance Center took a second crack at the trigger when it wasn't as great as a PC revolver should be when I bought her.
