both are good guns and i dont think you could go wrong with either one. smith and or ruger is all that i usually buy.I'm looking for a 44 mag for stress management, overkill for paper but bless that backstop.
So far I've looked at a S&W 629 and a Ruger Redhawk.
Any sugestions?
WANT a tank? = Ruger
Want a Swiss watch? = Smith
Both are great but this is the difference.
I think the Ruger absorbs a lot more of the recoil than the S&W. The S&W seems to spank noticeably more. In my hand, anyways.

I got it very gently used ( purchaced new in December) for 4 bills! How could I turn that deal down?
Next week can't come fast enough, I need to shoot it.
That's awesome! I've been looking for one for a while.....
Everything I've found so far has been 6" barrel or shorter.... Have been hoping to find one in 8 7/8"...... Love the classic look to it....
Sure can't beat that price....
Although the .44 isn't a concern, be aware that Ruger has been known to take chances.
My .480 is a six shot and the new ones are all 5 shots. why? Because several of the cylinders have failed due to the thin cylinder to cylinder walls. This isn't the first known re-design in the brand due to marginal designs. I'm unaware of any such issue with the S&W's built for the caliber and loadings that existed at the time it was manufactured.
