Saved my pennys and bought a Ruger GP100 4" Black finish. Paid $309.00 plus tax and NIC bullsh*t. It was between the Ruger and a S&W 686. In the end I've never met a Ruger that I didn't like. The 686 was alot more $. The Ruger came in black. There is something about large black or blue finishes on revolvers that I love. Last item, the S&W sellout to the Klintons.
Shot the new GP today at the range, about 200 rounds. Love the stock grips. I feel that it handles the recoil better than the 686. Shot everything from low load .38 spc. to hot Corbons and Remingtons. It shoots excellent. I must work on the action a little with dryfiring and Milltec oil. Hope this smooths it out a little. The 686 does have a slightly better action. Maybe look into some Wolff springs to lighten the pull a tad.
Relover lust lives on.
