It wasn't just Redhawks. Some Security-Sixes had the same problem.
As someone who owns both Rugers and S&Ws, I think this ad was a bit of a disaster. First, ads about guns should be geared towards selling guns. I think this ad sold more steaks and malts than S&W 686s! And two, forged steel has not been shown to be substantially superior to investment cast steel. What's more, the weight of both guns is essentially the same, with the edge going to the Ruger (due to the grip strut replacing the actual gun grip).Winchester_73 said:
