Been mulling it over and I've come to the conclusion that my first few handgun purchases will be revolvers (and a ruger .22 
). I've been a strong advocate for ruger firearms, cuz every review I've read says that they are very solidly built and, what they are doing to accommodate us Canadian shooters. But, I've been looking at a few Smith & Wesson's and I like the looks of the half underlug barrel, and the price for them used is comparable to a new Ruger. So, I'm just wondering (and apologise if this is the wrong thread) if someone with both, or access to both wouldn't mind me handling them and putting a few rounds down range. Slight downside is, I'm in St Jean, Quebec doing my BMQ (warrior fitness, just waiting to get on platoon). So if anyone is in the area and willing to help me out let me know. And any opinions would help as well ^.^b
