At one time there was a big enough price difference between the Ruger and S&W D.A. revolvers to justify the Ruger on price. Now, with new guns that is no longer a legitimate reason. Can still find Rugers cheaper in the used market, but if buying new, if you want a new .357 D.A. revolver, your best bang for the buck is a S&W 686.
