If you want hicap. get a pistol.For revolvers I love my Rugers.I traded in my blue 4" security six for a 6" full luged ss gp100.Glad I did.Super smooth action.Single action is scarry light & I can actualy hit what I'm aiming at with double action.I only feed it 180 gr. loads when in the woods & it will spit em out forever no problem.I wouldn't bet my life on a smitty.Solid frame vs screw on side plate & thick cylinder walls vs scarry thin walls.Get the ruger & a bussekin for price of a smitty.
