The Dan Wesson is superior to the Colt in just about every way, save that the Dan Wesson doesn't have a pony on it. As a base gun for custom work, the Colt is a better choice. But the Dan Wesson has a more wear- and corrosion-resistant finish, better sights, has been properly dehorned (Colts have razor-sharp edges on the dust cover and front of the slide in particular), and will have an overall better fit and finish.
