I need some opinions on a potential trade of my Beretta 96 for a used Smith or Ruger .44mag revolver. My Beretta is Inox and comes with a Galco holster, Blade-Tech IWB kydex holster, and 3 mags (1 factory). It's in great shape and has about 300 rounds through it.
I found 2 used, stainless, double action revolvers today, 1 Smith & 1 Ruger. They are 6" barrel, 6 shot, with rubber grips. The guns are very similar in size and shape, etc., but the Ruger is heavier and just seems larger. The cylinder walls are thicker on the Ruger. Each is priced at $450.
Any comments on which revolver is preferred? This will be a woods gun and potential gun for hunting (maybe not with the short barrel). I do not presently reload ammunition.
Any comments on a straight trade? Maybe better to sell it instead?
