Thanks again for the replies. It seems there aren't too many strong negative opinions about any of these revolvers. This is mainly going to be a range gun, a change of pace gun.
I don't expect to put more than a few hundred rounds through it a year. Based on your comments, it seems S&W, Taurus or Ruger are all built well enough to get the job done for me. I'm still leaning toward the Ruger, but my decision will come down to which one is most comfortable for me, without worrying about quality.
Thanks again
