[QUOTE="rhart, post: 3658245, member: 16596"] Yeah, it's ergonomics. Heck even Remington made a Colt clone or two (almost identical to the Colt). With a Colt one could draw and thumb back the hammer in the same motion - the top break SA S&Ws (especially the ones with the 'hump') were awkward to cock on the draw and thus slower to employ. I'm not sure about the earlier Remington ergonomics as I have never handled one. [/QUOTE]
