Wheel gun noob here, how do these compare with the 4.2" Ruger? Was thinking of getting the Ruger but now seeing this S&W I am confused and have no idea what to get

Hey N.S.- It's nearing the end of May.
Any word on delivery??

Rugers are decent guns, but I think the S&W is a little more refined:
-Nicer, more tunable actions.
-Cylinder throat/bore dimensions most conducive to best accuracy and minimal leading.
-Better looking.
As for durability, either one is plenty strong enough for lots of full power .357 rounds. Most durability problems with .357 S&Ws were with the K Frame guns (Models 19, 66, 13, 65), rather than the L Frame, which was purpose built for .357.
It is nice to see the S&W getting a shade over 4 inch barrel for the Canadian folks! The 686 is an awesome gun and has a SMOOTH double action trigger that you can get even smoother by sending the gun to S&W and letting them do an action job. I had S&W do an action job on my Airweight 642 and it does make a difference. That 686 will make a fine protection, field gun, and IDPA gun.
So?
Here we are. May27.
When is Reliable getting them in?
Chomping at the bit!!!
It would be nice to get some kind of update from North Sylvia.................
