I own Smiths that are 10 years old and better and i own quite a few Rugers. I have had two problems with a 686 and Smith took care of everything, no questions asked and didnt have to lay out a dime, not even shipping. I wouldnt think of buying anything else with the exception of a USFA single action. Older Smiths and Rugers are the best period although for the heavy loads i would trust the Ruger to handle the stress better than the Smith.
My 2 cents.
