And yet they'll fit in the same holster...It is obvious that there's more steel around the cylinder, when you look at the picture in post #27
There may be more metal in important parts of the gun, but if that can be done without increasing the weight or bulk of the gun, then what's the downside?
The post I responded to implied that there was a significant difference in the size (slimness) of the two guns and that's what accounted for the Ruger's strength. The fact is that while there may be more metal in certain critical areas that contribute to the strength of the Ruger design, the overall size, shape and weight of the two guns are virtually identical.
In other words, the Ruger is stronger because it's a stronger design, not because it's larger, thicker or heavier.
