I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out which .357 mag to get for home defense. I have been researching through old and new posts about revolvers for home defense. I've posted quite a few questions in the past, but still have not been able to make up my mind confidently about a purchase.
I have pretty much ruled out the Taurus revolvers. It just seems like they have had a somewhat sketchy record (no offense to taurus fans). I have really become interested in 2 revolver companies, Ruger and Smith and Wesson. However, these 2 seem to have their share of spottines too. Rumors abound that both companies no longer produce quality products of workmanship. This is very disturbing to me, because I want something that I can trust will go bang when I pull the trigger!!!
So what's a fella to do? The 2 guns that I am primarilly interested in are the Ruger SP101 3 1/16" and the S&W Model 60 3". Of these 2, which will be more likely to serve a lifelong purpose of protecting and going bang when the trigger gets pulled? Please excuse my earlier ranting. I know there's no such thing as a perfect product, I just want something that works and is well made. Thanks in advance.. And, if anyone knows, is it true that Ruger and S&W product quality has gone down??
