  Buy the Smith. As you did not give any condition or prices of the guns.

  The S&W is the better gun, but it's getting to the high end of what it's worth.

  I'm not sure about that.
  
  An ugly looking, beat up, but probably totally serviceable Smith for under $200, is probably pretty reasonable for many parts of the country.
  
  And I also say go for the Smith.
  
  To answer the original posters question, the Smith model 10 is the oldest continually produced revolver in the world, which says something about its quality and timelessness. Used to be standard issue revolver of military and police all over the world (hence its name as the military and police revolver), and even still is in a few places.
  
  The gun is built on the medium-sized smith "K" frame, and holsters and accessories should be pretty easy to find. Its an excellent first gun for women and/or those with limited gun experience.
  
  I would advise changing the grips to modern rubber ones. The older wedge shaped wooden grips on the gun don't really fill up the hand all that well, and don't easily lend themselves to a consistent grip (which promotes accuracy).
  
  The newer style grips are more comfortable, will make the gun easier to grip and point, more slip resistant, and significantly reduce the effect of recoil (which won't be much anyway. . .don't get scared).
  
  This is in part because of the shock-absorbing properties of the rubber, and in part because the more hand-filling grip spreads the recoil impulse over more surface area of your hand.
  
  Personally I like the Hogue grips, but Pachymayrs are good too, and there are other brands available. These should run you under $30 new, or significantly less if you purchase them used at a gun store on one of the on-line auction sites, and in my opinion are a very worthwhile investment.
