Chip, if you are looking for a comparison of the two then some questions come to mind:
1. Purpose of the revolver?
2. How many rounds do you expect to shoot per month/year/etc.?
The EAA products have been shown to be of "OK" quality for the most part. I do not know which country manufactures this particular one. Bud's gun shop carries it and they have a great guarantee for all of their products.
S&W has a very long reputation to stand on and most of their products are of great quality.
Price wise.........the S&W is probably three times the EAA.
