    S&W vs. Ruger, which has better revolvers
    0
  • akfanatik
    What is the advantage to having a single action revolver over a dual action. Isn't a single action one where you can't fire by just pulling the trigger? I see a lot of those on GB when searching. I myself would prefer to be able to shoot in one motion.

    Rugers are cast, and Smiths are forged.

    Any questions ??

    I don't care for the geometry of the Ruger grips.

    I prefer Rugers. I'm not saying Smiths are inferior, just stating my personal preference.

    Ruger makes better single actions than S&W, S&W makes better double actions than Ruger, so which do you want?

    Sorry they are both great, own them both, wouldn't put one over the other.

    Maybe you should ask the guy who hangs out in Locust's shop, he knows.......

    Let's see....The question was S&W vs Ruger, which has better revolvers? They're both good in different ways. However I prefer the Smiths. Here is how to shoot "a" colt.

    i wouldn't want to be shot with ether

    S&W is much, much quicker to reload than a ruger, colt doesn't even play into the word quick

    S&W or the colt python is my choice.

    As far as the triggers, it ain't that hard to smooth them single/double and lighten them.

    I have to say Ruger is number 1 IMHO, but I also collect Rugers. S&W also is a good gun and I have a few S&W's that I really like, such as the 686 Combat Master. You wont go wrong with either one.

    S&W for aesthetics and smooth action.

    Better is such a subjective term . . .

    I like 'em both but if I had to choose would take the S&W

    Double action goes to S&W, hands down. However, you can't beat a Ruger single action revolver in modern times.[;)]

    S&W have smoother actions. Never understood all the hoopla about Smiths being fragile. Owed several over the years and shot the heck of them without every having any wear issues.

    i wouldn't give up my 686 for anything but then thats the only smith I own as for Ruger i have over a dozen and like them all ,

    they're both good , you will just have to try them and see for yourself which you like best

    In this environment you will find those who like both and shoot both so the best thing to do is ask someone if you can shoot there ruger or smith.

    Like 'em both for different reasons. Smith for accuracy,smoothness, and handling. Ruger for durability and reliability.
