Revolvers.

Who makes a good .357 Mag revolver.

I like the Taurus and S&W models. S&W's seem rather expensive though. Paying for the name?

[Tom Sawyer]

If you compare the Taurus to the S&W, the S&W has more steps in the machining processes. They radius the edges better etc. Not sure if that justifies all the additional expense though.

[Puke]

I have read that the Taurus weapons are more cheaply made.
But the price difference is several hundred dollars.
I just wonder if the higher S&W price is worth it?

[Moebius Tripp]

Know a decent gunsmith?  Might be able to make the Taurus operate as smoothly as the S&W.  Or try to find ranges with either/both and test em.  Might not make that much difference to you.

The article I read mentioned getting a Taurus polished up and such. In the end the author spent more on the Taurus than if he'd just bought a S&W.

From what folks say I seem inclined to pay more up front for a better product.

We went to the Springfield Mass. S&W factory range/store. It was pretty cool, you can rent the guns to use on their range etc.

Nice guys although they require you to give them a Drivers License to touch a gun.

Springfield isn't far away! That sounds like a fun trip.

Sweet gun... go ahead and buy that... your Nikon camera and purty new gun, you bastard, I hate you.

Tony can sweet'n up any gun for you.

S&W is a bunch Government butt kissing assholes.

Oh yes, I forgot about Tony. S&W does have a large gov't following. Most links on Google for S&W lead to pig forums.

What about Ruger?
I rather like this version. Ruger GP100 / KGP-141

Or the medium frame Ruger SP101 / KSP-331X

Though the SP101 clearly needs better grips. I don't like those at all.

The S&W range is cool, but more expensive than the Manchester Firing Line, where you can also rent guns, including some that are full auto, and bring your own ammo, if you'd rather not buy from them.

After shooting at the S&W range you can stop here and get your serenity back.
