[QUOTE="Grill-n-man, post: 4486971, member: 12966"] All 3 makers make good guns and one important detail many over look outside of price and feel is the actual shooting of the gun. Are you going to shoot 38 special out of it mainly with the occasional 357 mag loads or are the mags going to be its main diet. Lots of stress on the cylinder and frame with a steady diet of mags. If the mags are going to be your main load, especially some of the hotter ones, then I would suggest you go with one with a heavy beefier build. Over time it will hold up better and longer than a smaller lighter frame. And the beefier one will be more comfortable to shoot with the mags. I'll put it into perspective, I shot a S&W air weight snubby loaded with good 357mags twice once and it will not happen again unless I'm about to be killed and there is nothing else left. On the other hand shooting a Ruger SP101 snubby with the same load I can do all day. Bigger frame and heavier. So in short, when deciding throw how much you going to shoot the mag loads in it in your decision making. [/QUOTE]
