I have shot and owned both over the years and now as well. I think Smiths are generally a bit smoother but I give it to Ruger for being built like a tank.
Great find. I love my Security Six in Stainless from 1980. It was a Vermont Highway patrolman's sidearm for many years. Will never leave my collection.
I think it is a two piece barrel. (Looks like it is to me) Allegedly the barrel is designed to be more accurate. Not sure how that's possible but I hear great things about the accuracy of this model.
Agreed about the lock. I looked for a 66 pre lock and found one just could not get there in time. Local sale. Found a 581 as well from the late 80's. Nice shape but was blued.
Wanted a little shine on this one. :)
