This video features Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant debating whether older Smith & Wesson revolvers are superior to newer models. They discuss the "pinned and recessed" features of older guns, often favored for collecting due to their build quality and finish. However, for practical, hard-use shooting, they advocate for modern S&W revolvers, highlighting their improved accuracy (citing cylinder throat dimensions) and the "Endurance Package" on .44 Magnum models for better recoil management.

The conclusion suggests collecting old models for their historical value and using new models for their performance, recommending ownership of both.
