To Rail or not to Rail

In the past 7 rounders were more reliable than 8 rounders - not so much now... But some old timers still prefer 7 rounders...

I have a mixture of the two... I use the Tripp rebuild kits in some mags, and they are only 7 rounders (they replace the insides with a better spring and follower)

Thanks, that helps a lot. Capacity is no longer an issue for me.

Since the S&W Precision and Pro line is soooooo much more expensive that the Colt XSEs and SA Operators, I wonder if the standard line is as good as them, match grade barrels etc.
