Hey! Thats no fair having a nickel Model 58.
Very, nice. As a matter of fact, all of your Smiths are very nice.

I like my Smiths quite well, and that 19-4 is a real honey, but the pointability of the Colts is better for me, and once accustomed to the Colt trigger, they are every bit as sweet, if not sweeter than a good S&W.
I think it all depends on which Smith, or Colt it is and I don't mean just the Model. I had a blue 4 inch Trooper Mk III when I was young that had the silkiest smooth DA action pull I've every felt. Smoother than the Python I just recently traded to a friend, than a Diamondback I once owned and even a 4 inch Nickel Trooper Mk III that I tried to replace the blue one with, after I foolishly traded it off, it was even slightly better than my 29-2 with the 'T' action job.
I'll tell you with all sincerity though, that the DA pull on my 1956 6.5 inch .44 Magnum is unreal, I wish all of my fellow revolver lovers here could hold it and pull the trigger, it shoots great, looks great and from those original goncalo alves grips, to the perfect blueing, to the silky smooth action it is super nice. Those early .44 Magnums were put together like custom guns and may well represent Smith and Wesson's finest effort.
First year of production, S&W .44 Magnum, shipped in July 1956.
