I like them both, when I got my second gen Colt in 45 with a 7 1/2 barrel I thought I would sell my Taylors & co smokewagon (357mag 5 1/2" barrel made by Uberti) but it is just so much fun to shoot! and 38spl is way cheaper, even if you reload, so I decided to keep both
guess now I need one in 4 3/4" perhaps nickel, yea that's the ticket
