Wheelguns

Tam has noticed that, nearly forty years since the plastic Wondernines made an appearance on American shores, that there are more choices for new revolvers than there have been in a long time.

One thing is that Taurus is making an attempt to produce quality revolvers and to get past their horrible track record for both spotty QC and CS. Heffron Precision has an exhaustive list of the improvements Colt has made to their double-action revolvers. That blog isn't indexed, but if you open the page and then search for "COLT's NEW DOUBLE-ACTION REVOLVERS: THE IMPROVEMENTS", that should take you there. Other than the sights, he seems to be of the opinion that it would be difficult to buy a better revolver. He has put one on a dry-firing machine and cycled it 120,000 times (presumably with librication here and there) with no change in the dimensions of parts. The classic Pythons would have been ruined by that.
