still great sixguns. Top gun has been cut to 5" and tuned by Jim Stroh; bottom sixgun has been re-barreled by Smith & Wesson. It Can Be A Good Thing! My dictionary has one definition of the word “compromise” as the settlement of a dispute by mutual concession. There are always compromises and trade-offs when it comes to firearms. A 10-pound rifle is much easier to shoot than a lightweight, however a 6-pounder is certainly much easier to carry all day. When it comes to sixguns I prefer Perfect Packin’ Pistols for carrying, but long barrels for shooting — a compromise in both situations.
