Besides the obvious outside differences (the more modern fish scale serrations and the top of the slide being ribbed like the revolvers) is there anything different internally?
Both can be had for the same price but the 108282 being harder to find since it's out of production.
For the price of $800 for both revolvers (both are brand new in the box) would one be persuaded to one model over the other? Or doesn't really matter which way you would go?
If I am correct the 282 has a firing pin block while the E does not. I have examples of each and both are equally great IMHO. Not the best pictures but here they are.
