S& W man myself.
Started out with s&w 28 as my first center fire revolver.
Then used k-frames and a few j frames.
Tried Colt and Ruger double action revolvers.
S&W was always my favorite.
Ended up with a DW on a gun trade .
All I can say is if I had started out with a DW I wouldn't have had so many S&W's through the years.
I still like my S&W guns best.
But I have to say that DW is every bit as good as the best S&W ever made,,,and better than any of the IL S&W's made now!
You got a great gun there my friend.
