What about Ruger or Browning, why S&W?

Right ON! I like a Browning BDM 9mm.

Ruger and Browning are great. I just like the feel of Smith wheel guns. The closest thing to them is a Tauris, made in Brazil, I think, which is a pretty good copy.
I also own a Colt Python 6 inch blue revolver. Its rugged and a good shooter, too but it doesn't seem as sooth as a Smith.
