I have asked before about guns and am coming to you again.
I love revolvers, and have discovered I love them big and heavy.
I have sold nearly all my revolvers: H & R, Taurus 94 and Ruger SP100 ( frames/grips too small) and a few others.
I have only 2 left: Ruger GP100, a 10 shot SS that I bought new for $642 over a year ago.
Also, a Taurus 4" SS 9 shot I bought used for $375 (I think).
I don't want 2 revolvers, but have a conundrum b/c when I range test them they are very close in accuracy with the Taurus edging out the Ruger barely, and I wanted to keep the Ruger since I have/had so many of them and love them, but if I am true to my own research: I'm afraid I'll end up with the Taurus.
That is my personal problem, but you can help with insight about another gun.
Is there a reason I should go after a SW 617 as a better/more accurate gun?
I shot one at the range once (a rental) and it did not seem to be any better at first glance.
Is there anyone who has had experience with all 3 and tell me they are all the "same gun," or in their experience, over time, the Smith proved more accurate, or even one of the others?
Accuracy is paramount with me.
