The Flat Top is a slightly smaller frame (colt size) Both are good and accurate ! Big hands ? get the Convertible ! Want more weight get SS Want the wild west look . . . . get the flat top :)

The "Flat Top" will yield a slightly stronger Frame Freedom

Get the 357 for sure. Really theres no difference

Great firearm! I love the interchangeable cylinders, as I have a lot more 9mm on hand than .357 Mag.

Great quality product! Medium size Handle on this Ruger 5245, but otherwise identical to the Ruger 0310 model Blackhawk which has the Large handle.
