These improve the practical shooting accuracy, pointability, I replaced the original skimpy factory S&W grips via a pair of
I would not trade mine for any other 38 out there 10:14 AM James A. I totally agree that 15-3 is a wonderful piece, they have extreme accuracy, good balance, get on target fast. I bought my 15-3 about 12 years ago used in a gun store for about $200 and still love it great gun just started geting back into guns after moving from cali were im used to shooting in the desert, now more range shooting. I have a model 66 that has almost as good a trigger as the Python. They don't make the greatest autos, but yet I still have a bit of a soft spot for a good third-generation Smith. Of course, the Python is probably the greatest revolver ever, but otherwise, Smith is hard to beat. I could even work a set of Hogue Goncalo Alves monogrips into the deal. My Diamondback did not come with the factory grips so if you really don't like yours, I'll be glad to pay you a good price for them. I'll let you know how my comparison goes. I have not been to the range yet but my plan is to do the same as you with a side by side comparison to my 4" 15-3. I just bought a nice Diamondback but I didn't get as good a deal as you (I'd like to know where your pawn shop is). I have several, including two Model 15s, a 2" and a 4". In the end, my preference is with the Smith, but that does not mean I'm letting go of the Colt! The Smith, however had the classic S&W appeal.
#SMITH AND WESSON MODEL 10 14 REVIEW FULL#
The Colt did have a bit more flash with it's full lug and ventilated rib. When I was acclimated to the Colt's grips and trigger, I shot it very well.īoth revolvers had a high degree of fit and finish. I attribute some of the lower accuracy of the Diamondback to that factor. The Colt grips do not fit me as well as the Smith. While I could not feel the stacking in the Colt's trigger, I could certainly see the difference between the two revolvers in my hands. I actually prefer the wider Smith trigger, but the narrow one works just fine. Because I favor this technique, the Smith trigger works best for me. I simply provide a steady, even squeeze on the trigger while holding the sights aligned. When shooting in double action, I do not attempt to stage the trigger. It had an incredibly smooth trigger, with spooky accuracy. The Model 15 was everything I had hoped it would be. I warmed up shooting my Model 17 for about ten cylinders.
I took both revolvers to the range with 200 rounds of Winchester White Box ammo. With it's adjustable sights and nice balance, the Diamondback is a difficult revolver to beat when it comes to shooting. The Diamondback wears Colt's target stocks. The fit, finish and polish are high quality Colt all the way. Even if Colt had not stopped making revolvers, that would have been a steal for this gun. This Colt Diamondback was purchased at a pawn shop for $249. It has a smooth trigger and a serrated target hammer. The Diamondback lockwork is the same basic design as the Python, using the V shaped Colt mainspring. It is sometimes referred to as the Python in.
The Diamondback is a dedicated target revolver built on Colt's D frame. The StandardThe Colt Diamondback is often considered to be the epitome of a target. It wears service magnas with a serrated front and backstrap. It is every bit as elegant as their flagship gun, the Model 27. The Combat Masterpiece exhibits the fit and polish that made Smith & Wesson famous. Today was the first time I have shot this revolver, but I have a preference for the K frame Smiths. This trigger is about as consistently smooth as a double action revolver can be. S&W invested their time in the trigger of this revolver. The Model 15-3 has a plain sight rib and no extended underlug. The Combat Masterpiece sets the Smith & Wesson standard for. This Smith & Wesson Model 15-3 was purchased at a pawn shop for $199. It is a premium K frame revolver, featuring a Baughman quick Draw front sight coupled with a S&W adjustable rear sight. The ChallengerThe Smith & Wesson Model 15-3 Combat Masterpiece is the descendent of the K-38.
