Opinions On S&W Revolvers

Meh. Most people in this country will never shoot enough to actually worry about wearing out a 686 before a GP100. I have numerous S&W revolvers (and Colts, and Charter Arms, and Rugers) and they are a very good revolver. Just make sure you get the one that fits your needs, and you will have many years of happy wheel gunning. - dan
 
Thanks for all the replies! I have my eye on a Model 14 right now but a fellow also sent me a picture of a 4.2" Ruger GP100 that looks really sweet. Decisions, decisions :D TC

go with the Ruger... in stainless... and feed it lots of .357 ammo
 
get a model 28 357mag and a model 29 .44mag. This will cover the smith's. The 28 will take any load you can buy in 38spl or 357mag.
 
I had a 28 and the only reason I sold it was to help pay for a 27 I came across. If I were to sell all my handguns but one, I would be keeping the 27; it balances nicely and has the heft for warm 357 loads.
 
If you shoot enough heavy loads you can wear out any revolver. It is simply a machine with wearing parts, after all. I would bet that the S&W will wear out before the Ruger though. Having said that, I'll keep my S&W's long after all my Rugers are gone (we won't get into the Colts here, that's another story). - dan
 
As a previous poster stated, it's all about the trigger. I've owned a 6" model 629, a 4" model 29, a 4" model 13, and a 2" model 10. The 629 had the smoothest factory trigger I've ever seen. If you can't hit a bullseye with that gun, you can't shoot. My 2" model 10 is a great shooter as well. I have a 2" Colt Cobra that's a bit umpleasant to shoot, and not very accurate, The model 10 just shoots where you point it. At 10 yards it groups like a full sized pistol at 25 yards.
