Would you trade a Ruger Service Six 4 inch for a 3 inch S&W 65?

[Rockrivr1]

All day any day would I make that deal. Then again I'm a S&W fan.

I think it depends on the intended use. Personally, I'd go with the Ruger for target shooting and every day carry around the ranch, but for concealed carry, I'd go with the S&W

Is the Ruger stainless also?

Depending on your use, either could be the (slightly) better choice. But, as has been mentioned, in pure current value, it's a no brainer, the 3" 65 wins.

Now, if it were between a 2 3/4" Speed Six and the 65, it would be alot tougher choice. I have both and, really can't decide which I like better.

Ok folks.... I have the Ruger Service Six here...

AND I now have the S&W 65-6 to. Paid only $438, tax included, for the S&W.

Now one can find a Ruger Service Six for maybe $400-450.

And thus if I had traded it would have been even.

Do note.. I hate those rubber stocks. The S&W will get wood soon!

If this means you now have both, best decision you couild have made. By the way i also hate the rubber stocks S&W uses.

 

[Deaf Smith]

If this means you now have both

Yep! And I saw a dang "LadySmith" .357 65-5 with firing pin on the hammer, case hardened hammer and trigger, 3 inch bbl. But the $650 price tag is, well, not worth the candle. It had real good wood boot grips but still, six fifty is just not in the cards now.

Deaf: You should be charged with Grand Theft and Incitement.....because you stole that S&W and I'm envious!

Well done!
