I would get the Ruger or Taurus now.
My personal experience with all three brands indicates Smith has the worst quality control of the three.
Smith has chosen to make the customer a big part of the final inspection process that used to be done in-house.
Especially where getting barrel-cylinder gap right and correctly clocking the barrels are concerned.
I know it’s a limited sample, but my Taurus Model 85 UL in .38 Special is a much better gun in every way than any Smith J frame I have or ever have owned.
