Will always have a soft spot for any fairly decent Ruger. I would go with the Service Six.
"The Ruger is stronger but the Smith is nicer to shoot. Pick one."
Buy the 65-1 ... if for no other reason than accessories/parts for K-frames are still readily available. Well, that and the fact that the Ruger is not stronger.
That would be the GP series v. the 686 series.

I've had several K-frame Smiths and several Security Six models. They are the same size gun. They take the same holster and speed loaders, but the Ruger is clearly the stronger of the two. Now if they were both 38s? I think I'd take the Smith over the Ruger.
