I would sure like to see all your data where you CLAIM s&w "outshoots" ruger!!!!!
I've had a lot of experience with ALL brands and you can get examples to prove anything you want until you examine ALL gathered data. I've been in the business for bout 27 years and I STILL cannot tell with certainty which brand will CONSISTANCY "outshoot" the other. If you like s&w,ruger,taurus,colt,or whatever,that's fine,just please don't attempt to mislead somebody due to your preferences-that's dangerously close to lying-especially if you lack PLENTY of experience with both. Whatever somebody likes,great.

I would reconsider the choice of the Taurus. I would go with a S&W if I were you. The S&W simply outshoots them all(out of the box)-including ruger.
I will stick by my claim that a S&W will on average outshoot the Taurus and the Ruger's.
What part of KY are you at. I worked at a large indoor pistolrange in Bowling Green for 5 years during the 90's. I have been in the firearms industry a good bit of my life(about 25 years). I have shot hundred's if not thousands of pistol's. And by far-overall the S&W IS more accurate. They definitely have a better trigger. I would give Ruger the slight edge on durability, but definitely not accuracy. I can not even remember how many Blackhawk's that I was thoroughly disappointed with. Just my opinion-but it is not without experience. Tom.
