Ultimately, a watch should keep good time; that is what it is for. Unfortunately, it is the same for guns. While a Colt Python or Diamondback are classy, intricate, and well crafted pieces of art, they do not keep time as well, or are as durable as the more pedestrian Ruger or S&W revolvers. It is like comparing a fine mechanical watch, to a digital. The mechanical watch cannot keep up with technology, and while there are people who appreciate finely crafted things, most people just need the correct time.
