Incorrect. It is an investment casting, but that's not the reason for their size or shape.The Ruger has to be dimensionally larger because it is investment casting. Not machine steel like the Smith
But I agree that the Rugers are blockier and I don't find them as good looking as the S&W.
I pondered long and hard with a GP100 sitting right next to a 686...
I don't know why they are, the Blackhawk family is very attractive.
FYI, my EDC is a S&W 60-15 in 357. I love that little gun.
