I've always loved the power of the .357 magnum. What I haven't always loved is the recoil (my only other option at the moment is a 3" SP101 which is quite the handful with full house loads). I'm also hesitant to run the hot stuff in my S&W Model 19. Today I picked up something I've been wanting for years, a large frame 6" revolver capable of taming the recoil of the monster loads, something I can simply enjoy shooting at the range all day long, and I did just that, put 150 full power rounds down range shortly after the purchase. Once I finally got the sights dialed in I was hitting my 4" steel plates at 25 yards consistently with the factory sights. The trigger is smooth, never before have I felt so confident with a double action trigger, and the looks of this gun is simply amazing.
Honorable mention goes to the Ruger GP100 Match Champion. I held one today and was very impressed - grips felt great in my hand, fiber optic sight was easy to pick up, the trigger was by far the best Ruger trigger I've ever felt on a revolver. Only thing, I was set on getting something with a 6 inch barrel, which the Match Champion does not offer.
I'm happy with my choice
