I have one of each of these and have to pick one to keep.
I'm a new shooter, so priority would be the one that is easier to learn with.
I've had the ruger for longer, but on the first day out i was no more accurate with it than the s&w.
Obviously the Ruger is newer and has the advantage of being able to handle .357 and .38, which is nice.
Other things i noticed:
S&w seems to have lighter trigger
Ruger is heavier, much heavier, and much nicer on the recoil
Grips feel very similar in my hand
They are both nice guns, obviously, so i don't think i will be wrong with either, but i can't keep both, so gotta decide.
I guess the other question could be, which one can I sell for more if they really are so close that I don't have a preference?
So, any advice on which gun will better serve me for a long time?
