His position, as he explained it to me at the time, was that he liked the Dan Wessons because of how much easier they were to slick up their triggers and actions, but that the downside was their slightly greater susceptibility to getting out of whack from a steady diet of heavy recoiling loads. I just took him at his word because he was certainly more qualified than me to comment on such things, and I have simply regarded those statements as gospel since then. Not that I've sought out the argument, but I haven't had any other gunsmith argue against that position.
