This video from Brownells' 'Smyth Busters' series, featuring firearms expert Steve, delves into the debate of whether older Smith & Wesson revolvers are superior to newer models. Steve, demonstrating expert knowledge, concludes that both have distinct advantages. Older S&W revolvers excel in collecting due to their classic features like pinned and recessed barrels, while modern S&W revolvers are better suited for frequent, hard-use shooting thanks to advancements in alloys, heat treatment, and manufacturing processes like MIM parts, which have significantly improved in strength and dependability. The video highlights specific models and technical differences, such as cylinder throat diameters affecting accuracy.
