The N frame (what the 28 is based on) has been in service since the early 1900s. You can shoot all the factory loads you can afford and any hand load, short of stupidity and it will hold up. I have been told that the Ruger is a solid unit that will last a lifetime also. (no personal experience with shooting the Ruger) I agree that the Smith has a better and more finished appearance.(you are on a S&W board, after all!) My thought is that you buy the one that feels the best in your hand and live happily ever after.
