S&W if you shoot nothing but factory loaded ammo but if you like bullets heavier than 240gr or a round hotter than 1500 fps then Ruger all they way.
S&W are fine guns but can't and will not stand up to the punishment a Ruger will.
Some people complain the Ruger trigger is rough but drop a little powdered graphite in the trigger works with a drop of gun oil and all that roughness goes away and no it does not get all over your hands unless you use to much graphite.
The graphite packs into any rough machining and after about 500 to 1000 rounds the graphite is embedded in the wear areas of the metal and you seldom have to add any more.
Old school, cheap mans trigger job.
Smiths are lighter and a bit more comfortable to shoot I have to give them that. But when I shoot 44 mag I want a heavy robust gun to help tame the recoil.
