Another GP100 or 686 thread

I have two GP100s (6" and 4" half-lug) and one S&W 686 4".

You won't go wrong with either the Ruger or the Smith.

The new Rugers are beautifully made. The days when the Smith 686 was "more refined" are no more.

The Smith has the best single action trigger imaginable. The Ruger's is good; the Smith's is better.

The Ruger DA trigger has a distinct second stage which makes shooting it DA a breeze, at least for me. I had a trigger job done on my 6" gun and it is my best shooting DA revolver.

The Smith's DA trigger is single stage and snappy. It all boils down to preference as to which DA trigger is better.

My $.015. :rolleyes:
 
I like to carry something uncommon or rare. What I'd actually like is to find an ultra rare pre-lock 586 with a 3 inch barrel and then have Smith fit it with the 7 round cylinder from the current ported 586 and retime it. It would be one-of-a-kind, the same as the 686 but with that beautiful mirror blue finish. Grail gun right there.
 
You said concealed carry, so I would go with the 686. Few things are more useless to you than ammo you don't have.
