I like the Ruger. I'd like to own the Ruger, and I would probably rate the durabilityof the Ruger over the S&W but...

These are not guns you're likely to put 1000s upon 1000s of rounds through and function (as a woods gun) should be paramount, so the sights, porting and a cylinder release you prefer (if ever you have time to slam in a speedloader when in a tight spot) make the S&W probably a better choice.

Plus the cylinder shape is cool, although, I'm not over fond of the paw prints, personally...

OMG!! I just suggested a S&W over a Ruger!! Very unlike me!!
