Okay gents......I will be purchasing either a S&W model 57 (.41 cal) with a 6 inch barrel, or a Ruger BH with the Bisley grips and a 7.5 inch barrel in .41 caliber (I'll consider a BH with the plow-style grips). Will be used for hunting. The length of the barrel makes no difference to me, as I am a pretty good shot with any revolver. I think both are beautiful guns. I have no ability to "test" either one, as there is no gun shop, range, or show anywhere near me that will have either. I had a Model 29 and the frame was a bit big for my smallish hands, but manageable.
I can get a Model 57 new for about $900 total (tax, transfer, etc...). I can get a good condition used one for about $750. I can get the Ruger new for about $690.
What's YOUR preference and recommendation. Thanks!
