Actually, post reasons please. I'm hoping to buy soon and would love to her the pros and cons of both.
I echo Squantos-go with S&W. Some may swear by the Ruger autos, but I have a very negative view of their fit, feel and accuracy.
That being said the Ruger Mk 1/2 series 22s are great guns and the revolvers are top of the line.
Another way to look at it, you will see very mixed views on the Ruger autos, but just about unanimous favor for an S&W revolver
