ranchand99 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I am stuck between 2 different ones,and 3 different barrel lengths. The first is a S&W model 629 with an 8 3/8" barrel The second is a Ruger Super redhawk with 7.5",or 9.5" barrel. I am planning on using it 90% of the time for hunting hogs and deer,10% target shooting.I do not plan on using hot loads,and I am going to keep it open sights.I don't plan on shooting over 50yds,and prefer to shoot 35yds or less. My problem is that I have been told the S&W trigger is way smoother than the rugers,but I have been told the Ruger is way stronger than the S&W.Any help is appreciated!!

hangunnr Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I'm partial to the S&W guns. You can do so much more with the actions if they need work. I also don't think you need the extra bulk of the Rugers. Here's my current crop of Smith 44s. I'm working on adding another to the stable. Came across an engraved 629DX that just needs to live in my safe... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 If you're planning on only shooting that far, I would get a six inch barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchand99 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Here is my new REVOLVER... It's a superblackhawk.I decided to go with it because it was a little more than 200 bucks less than the others,and I will be using it primarily for hunting.Thanks for all the help. Here is my first shooting session with it.Distances of 15 to 25 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Good deal... Find yourself a set of Houge rubber grips and she'll be much more comfortable to shoot. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
