One thing mentioned above is about the feel of the action. Personally, I don't like the stacking at the end of the old Colt's V-spring action. It is also a very long double action pull as compared to the short action S&W's. It was either Skeeter Skelton or Bill Jordon that once commented that a feller with a Colt double action could get shot twice by a S&W shooter before he could get a shot off because of the difference in the speed of the two actions.
That was likely meant to be funny. The difference in speed is not recordable in actual use.
