Can't compare. High quality, fair price, made in the U.S. of A.

I am superstitious on the ammo I feed my guns. Now unlike most folks who get their new gun and walk off to the range, I inspect mine under a glass. Then I RUN off to the range. This must surely be the Crown Jewel in the Ruger .357 Mag line because the matte stainless finish is every bit as fine as S&W's'
In fact, I had a serious debate with myself between the Ruger 1759 and the S&W 686+. "Myself," I said to myself, "the 686 takes 7 rounds." "Yes," myself said to myself, "but there is nowhere you are going to get an unfluted cylinder at the Sturm Ruger price. Even though the S&W finish is supposed to be the best..."
Well, that turned out not to be strictly true. This is the finest Ruger I had ever owned.
I would recommend taking a set of precision screw drivers on that first shoot. I put 18 158gr HPR (nice & hot @ 1560 fps) rounds downrange, and the "recoil" is a reassuring push, instead of a electric eel running up your arm. All 18 rounds were about 8" high at 21'.
I spent about half hour giving her a good clean, "lifted" the rear sight about 5 - 6 clicks, run 18 downrange, and voila! dead on. I'm superstitious that way. I run out 18, clean, repeat for the first 100 - 150 rounds. Have since Christmas run about 450 rounds through her, and she's a dream to shooy, both double and single action.

Cons
If you have adult children, don't show it to them. Or buy enough to go round the first time.
Don't shoot Fiocci or you'll think the gun is blued after the first 6.
Pros
Will make you as happy as a puppy with two peters.

Finally, once again, Buds has come trough for me. I'd rather not name competitors' names, but I shopped around. I got this lovely lady OUT THE DOOR for less than what was quoted as the "including discounted just for you because we like you" price anywhere else. Thanks, Buds. That was my fourth gun from y'all (first review) and I wish I could give the rating another star for your fast service and on-the-ball feedback at every step.
