Wildcard163:

Actually, I have only shot one smoker, and that was the .36 caliber replica.

I edited my original response to our first contact which has my opinion of the LeMatt. It may have been a practical sidearm in its day for its purposes, but it is a butt ugly revolver in my opinion and I would not care to own it. The Navy .44 I am interested in has the "cute" factor built into it with that shiney brass frame. My "PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER." friends would probably not fear seeing that above my fireplace and would probably be intriqued enough to handle it and thereby hopefully become less fearful of guns in general.
