Looking at two used .44 mag revolvers. Which one to choose?
a) S&W 629-5, 6.5" SS BBL, original wood grips, pre-lock, asking price is $750
b) Ruger Super Blackhawk, 7.5" SS BBL, F.O. sights & leather holster, asking $625
Comments? Preferences?
a) Which one is the better deal?
b) Which one is the better gun?
1) have not looked at either yet in person, so assume same condition
2) This will be a range gun (not self defense)
3) Almost certain I can shoot .44 special cartridges, can the brain trust confirm? (indoor range rules prohibit magnum rounds).
4) Would it be possible to add scope/optics in the future?, and if yes, what would that entail?
Looking forward to your replies
