Ruger listens to their customers...S&W tries to dictate... It's why all my "new gun" money has gone to Ruger in the last 15 years. I still buy Smiths...but they were all made before 2002....

I really missed the boat on the 41 Redhawk 2.75. Honestly if my time and money wasn’t so consumed with buying out of production smiths I’d have a lot more new ruger revolvers. They seem to get the message
