This video from Brownells, featuring Caleb and Steve, delves into the debate of whether older Smith & Wesson revolvers are superior to newer ones. The expert assessment highlights that while older models are excellent for collecting due to their historical features and build quality, newer revolvers often offer better performance for hard use and shooting. Advancements in materials, heat treatment, and manufacturing processes like MIM (though improved over early iterations) make modern S&W revolvers robust and accurate, particularly with features like tighter cylinder throats and the 'Endurance Package' on .44 Magnums. The conclusion is that both old and new S&W revolvers have their merits, with the choice depending on whether the primary purpose is collecting or frequent shooting.
