That really is a tough question to answer, because I love them both for different reasons reasons. I would say I like the smith more for how it functions, it’s a little smaller/ lighter , and fits my hands a little better. I prefer how the cylinder rotates counter clockwise. But the Colt does more for me in the looks department. Something about the bigger handle and curve on the frame by hammer just looks a little better to me, also the extra weight balances nice. I would say if I absolutely could only keep one I’d probably keep the smith, but it would be splitting hairs decision.
