Ive finally decided to add a 44 mag to my collection...I like Ruger and Smith...So, i went and handled both in a 4inch model (4inch is what i am after) both felt great...the ruger was heavier than the smith, it wont be carried so thats not really a problem...the smith and wesson had a little better trigger IMO, the ruger wasnt bad by any means, the smith just a little better....Both fit in my big bear hand great, maybe the ruger a little better than the smith....

SO, which did you choose and why? is there anything that should be known about either? thanks for any input
