The two guns in question, both .357 Magnum:
Taurus 627 in 4" SS
Ruger GP100 in 4" SS
The Taurus I can get for about $360 whereas the Ruger I can get for $425. Not a humongous price difference but $65 is something.
What are the pros and cons of these 2 choices?
My Dad wants one of these 2 for a range gun and a backpacking gun for defense against cougars and wolves or whatever he might run into.
Your thoughts? How do these 2 stack up against each other?
Also, what about the titanium version of the Taurus? I can get that one for about $500.
