The Ruger breaks down like a shot gun. Just two pieces. I have one and I put a red dot on it. Accurate as all get out, Even at 70 Yards on a 5 inch plate. I love it!I'd go with the Ruger because it's threaded, and I like shooting suppressed. Also, the stainless steel is easier to maintain. The Browning is beautiful and you really can't go wrong with it either.
