Fellow revolver enthusiast.
I have had conversations with friend and associates that go to battle over which one of these guns is superior.
I have a S&W 686 no dash 1983 model and I have a Ruger GP100 1998 model. Both are SS and are 4in barrels.
The 686 definitely has a smoother trigger pull in DA & SA. Both guns weigh 41oz empty. Aesthetically they both look beautiful.
As for accuracy I can't shoot one better than the other. They both are equally accurate to me. As for reliability, both are flawless. I do think the Ruger is a bit more built to take a heavier dose of the thermonuclear hot loads someone may run through their gun .
I reload and don't do that, I do have some warm loads but nothing either gun can't handle. Theses two guns in my opinion are equal and one really isn't better than the other. They will easily out live me.
