[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 3699200, member: 38658"] That will get you in a bar fight. Ha. Then, as it is now, a lot is put in the name and not the product. But in a revolver, and in my opinion from that era, the mechanics are the same. I've see just as many SW break down as Rossi's maybe even more because everyone watched Dirty Harry and had to have a hand cannon. If the milling is right and if a smith takes care of the timing/tuning not much is different. Even the cylinder advance arms are the same as are the springs etc. Some are made in the same plant just rebranded. IMO, all guns are almost the same after the bullet clears the crown. The shooter is either good or not good. The gun is not doing anything but providing a tube, firing mechanism and a proper pressure chamber/rifling. A 4" barrel or less, is not going to be slicing cards at 50 yards. It may hit the dealer on the third shot. I think my guy will have my revolver doing all it did when it was new. Probably better. I'll appreciate it and love shooting it again. [/QUOTE]
