S & W is nice but overpriced. Taurus is nice and priced right. Both have had their issues but both are good guns. I prefer the Large frame Taurus to the mid size Trackers.
Those who buy a taurus buy it because it is cheaper or at least that is why I bought one. I soon sold it. It didn't have that solid feel to it. Now, I wait until I have the money for a S&W or Ruger when it comes to revolvers.
I'm in the process of falling in love with the Smith 686 + I just got. I've never owned a Taurus, but I hear nightmare stories about customer service. I'd get the Smith or the Ruger.
