Yup, I own two Taurus, one Ruger GP 100, and One S&W Model 10. I would pick a Ruger, or a S&W any day of the week over a Taurus because I now know the difference in the Triggers Between the Three.
After buying my nickle Taurus 66, I sold my Security Six. I'll never sell my Smith and Wesson M10, though. The Taurus is WAY more accurate with .38 loads and just as accurate with .357 as was the Security Six, in fact, a tad more accurate (by a half inch) than the M10. The Taurus trigger was better out of the box than the Ruger, as good as the Smith, but I trimmed the hammer spring and slicked up the Security Six and it was pretty nice after i did that. But, for reasons of accurate and built quality, I prefer the Taurus....scoff if you must, but it's true. Now, it's not as rugged a gun as the Ruger, but the frame and round forcing cone are more rugged than my old M19 Smith. I just prefer it and that's why I kept it as a 4" .357 outdoor carry and the others are gone.
For CCW, I still prefer the SP101 to about anything in this caliber. That thing is a little tank, far stronger design than the Security Six, probably why Ruger dumped the Security Six. Now, I may, in the future, pick up a 4" adjustable sight version of the SP101 for outdoor carry, but the Taurus does a fine job. In stainless, and tough as it is, you won't need worry about the SP101 holding up in outdoor use, though. The trigger is less than great out of the box, but a Wolff spring helps and it is pretty smooth with a little use.
