Maybe I missed it, but what are the barrel lengths for each?
See post #25.

Turns out my choice was made for me, both were on GB and the ruger sold. So I just bought myself a 1974 model 28-2. It'll be my first N frame, looking forward to it
I'm quite sure the smarter fellows on the Ruger forum would choose the Model 28. If not, they just prove why they're on the Ruger forum snd not the Smith & Wesson forum, right? Hahahaha…
As an aside, Ruger DA revolvers are seriously ugly.
Thank you!See post #25.![]()
That was my thought as well.I have to admit the only reason I voted M28 is you said the price was the same. I'd expect the SS to be half the price of the M28, and then I might choose it if I wanted a smaller revolver.

Off topic to the original ruger model, i have a 4 inch ss police service six and a 3 inch 1/2 lug gp100 both are quality firearms, the GP trigger is no where as nice as my smiths the police service six can hold it's own against any k or l frame i own. I don't know if the prior owner had any work done on it but the action is smooth lock up good and tight.The Ruger is vastly inferior to the Smith & Wesson guns.
