It's a sad commentary on Western Civilization when the best that can be said about a company's "new and improved" offering is, "Could be worse."
Single action revolvers were a mainstay in the USofA for the latter half of the 19th Century and into the 20th. WWII about killed them off but they got a breath of fresh air in the 1950s (thank you TV cowboys). With the advent of SASS and the Italian makers taking advantage of that growing market there are more SA revolvers available today than ever before. And like almost everything else they are updated, re-designed, safer, and better. Or so they would have us believe. Ruger led the way back in the early '70s with their New Model Balckhawk. It was such a better idea, if they got their hands on one they would convert your Old Model into a New Model...even if you didn't ask or want it. They're smarter than you don't ya know!
So purchase and enjoy...as long as the gun goes off when you want it to, and the transfer bar doesn't break, or the floating firing pin doesn't quit floating, or, or, or. Some of us Luddites remain enamored with "four clicks" and "five beans in the wheel" but don't worry, we're dying off at an ever increasing rate. Soon no one will remember real single actions or the old pharts who love them.
YMMV,
