Based on my own ownership/use of each, I would rate them:
1. Ruger and S&W tie on quality, Ruger has more to choose from
2. Colts are good quality, but since they are out of production I would not consider one if I was buying a gun to carry/shoot regularly. Too expensive and I would not want to have to repair one.
3. Taurus is a good brand in my experience. I know others have had less favorable experiences, but I would buy Taurus again.
4. EAA Bounty Hunter is a good single-action large bore gun. Not a carry gun unless you're a cowboy.
I have not owned a Charter, Rossi or other currently made brand.
