That's a bold statement. I would like to see a list of all the revolvers you have actually owned. Especially since some like the Mateba are extremely rare.

I have spent several hours looking through my collection of information on the Six series, and GP100, and cant find that reference. I will back off the statement I made, that the Six Series cant handle continuous firing of full power 357 loads.
"Is the Ruger GP100 the Greatest Double Action Revolver Ever Made?"
lol
They must have stopped turning a profit, right? So either there are far too few discerning revolver buyers out there or people realized paying the extra money for something not much better wasn't worth it. I know I never felt the need for a colt
If colts are so great why did they stop making them?
Or was Colt too "proud" to take some shortcuts in the manufacturing of their revolvers?
