Way back, like 1970-something, a friend bought one of those. He went in to buy a Single-Six like mine but fell under the spell of the Colt. It was a quite nice little gun, well-fitted and deeply polished/blued. Had the extra magnum cylinder.
It shot as well as my Ruger for both of us, considering that neither of us what you’d call an expert marksman back then. All I can tell you is that my impression of the Colt was that it felt somehow “smaller” than the Ruger, and the action sounded and felt somehow more “delicate”. Granted the extra nice Colt finish.
I would not have traded guns with him.
