Shooting an antique Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 single Action. This is a classic which some say was the best single action revolver of the nineteenth century.

Your buddy Jay is pretty fortunate (as I suspect you've told him). That's a wonderful old firearm. Thanks to you both for sharing it with us!

Did you have to give it back?

Unfortunately I'll be heading to Jay's next week to return it.

Wow I did know there was that big a difference in the handling between the Model 3 and the Scofield.??? So as someone who has shot a scofield but never shot a model 3 what are the differences?????

And let me ask which handles better a SAA or Model 3

Mucho thanks for the video, Very Very nice

The SAA, by a mile.

The New Model No 3 has a re-designed grip that I find easier to shoot quickly one handed than the Schofield.

I agree with Denis, the Colt SAA is a better handling gun than any S&W single action.
