I am considering trading my Ruger SP 101 (.357, 3 " + barrel) plus some cash for a simailr size and caliber S&W Model 60. My brief comparison follows.
S&W Pros
Better trigger pull - even after a lighter mainspring in and a lot of firing of the Ruger
Slightly more comfortable grip - even after putting Hogue grips on the Ruger
Adjustable sights
Ruger Pros
Nearly indestructible
Excellent Customer Service
I already own it
I was wondering about build quality between the two. I also notice the S&W is slightly lighter. Are their recoils much different?
I pretty much know how to examine a revolver but I am not familiar with the S&W 60. Is there anything unique to the 60 I should look for if/when I reexamine the gun.
Obviously I have to decide which gun I like better but any comparisons you can make between the two would be appreciated.
Thanks.
