I've owned a S&W in .357 subnose, I still own a Taurus 608 9" (same frame as the .44 but .357 with 8 shots), and I have three Ruger revolvers all in stainless: Super Redhawk in .44 9.5", Super Blackhawk .44 10.5", and Blackhawk .357 6.5".

The Taurus is a copy of the S&W designs and they are good revolvers, don't buy in the 'junk' horse crap. Great stock trigger and super accurate.

Said that, other than Freedom Arms, I'm a huge Ruger sucker when it comes to their Revolvers. I will never again buy another Revolver other than a Ruger. It's a superior design in terms of sheer engineering. I've never liked the cassette type receiver of the S&W and their clones.

Ruger triggers are so so, like 99% of the guns out there, but with a bit of polishing and spring replacement you get some of the best triggers out there.

All my Rugers break like glass at 2.5 lbs with zero creep.

Nothing wrong with the Raging Bull, but money for money get the SRH!
