At one time I had a Colt Trooper Mk.V, a Ruger GP100, and a S&W Model 686. The Ruger and S&W had 4" barrels while the Colt had a 6" barrel. Two of them had to go to pay for school. Didn't care for the GP100 as it didn't feel as good in my hand; the action was also very rough and gritty compared to the other two. Toughest decision was between the Colt and the S&W; accuracy wise they were both great shooters. The deciding factor was that the Model 686 had the better trigger (probably one the best out-of-the-box triggers I have ever found on a revolver). And while the Pachmayr grips aren't much to look at they fit my hand perfectly (after some slight alterations), and are very comfortable to use.
