In contrast, rival Colt's Python had the advantage of not only high barrel precision but also the ability to reduce muzzle jump by increasing the weight with an under-lug. Additionally, the Python's rifling had a strong rotation effect, imparting sufficient spin to the bullet, resulting in high trajectory stability.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, while the Python's trigger action is very smooth, it can be difficult to grasp the exact moment the hammer falls. In contrast, S\u0026amp;W's actions are often considered superior in terms of trigger control, so it was natural for competitive shooters and gunsmiths to consider combining the advantages of both.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis is how the ultimate hybrid revolver, the \"SMOLT,\" was born. Among these, the work of California master craftsman Bill Davis is particularly well known. The early models, which featured a locking ball on the yoke, but also a more elaborate mechanism for locking the tip of the ejector rod, are now rare and highly sought after by collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Smolt was a completely custom-made model, where the user brought in their S\u0026amp;W K frame and specified the length of the Python barrel to be attached. The Smolt we previously released was based on a round-butt K frame, but after its release, we received many requests from old fans asking for a square-butt version as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo we created a square-butt Smolt. It's not just a different frame; we've changed it to a wide hammer and trigger, and fitted it with an oversized grip. It's a gun that exudes a classic atmosphere of yesteryear. Furthermore, this stainless steel finish model is based on the M66. Not only the frame and barrel, but also the trigger and hammer are finished in stainless steel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003e(*In Japan, the brand has long been known as \"SMYTHSON,\" but in the United States it has been called \"SMOLT,\" a combination of the manufacturer's name.
