I own one of each. At a casual glance they look alike. If you look closer, the High Wall has a lot more metal in the receiver. It’s designed to accept the larger cartridges. The Low Wall is a bit lighter, but still a strong gun when it’s made with modern steels. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a High Wall if you have a choice. If you’re going to do a lot (I mean a LOT) of shooting over the years it will outlast the Low Wall. That being said, I don’t know anyone who’s worn out a Low Wall. My Low Wall was immediately reamed out from .357mag to .357max and it’s had a lot of rounds fired out of it with no problems. I say, just get the one that appeals to you the most.
