I agree with you 100%, except that I own a recent GP100 and used to have a 1989 GP100, and I cannot testify to any decline in Ruger quality. I also have a Speed and Security Six and I find the GP100 an improvement.Can't in good conscience recommend any new S&W or Ruger revolvers (love the older Smiths and Rugers). Don't approve of The Lock and hate the modern Ruger bricks.
I'll be the outlier who recommends a new 3" Colt Python or King Cobra, maybe the 4" King Cobra Target.
But I agree emphatically with your recommendation of a new model Colt. Rugers of any era could never touch them and neither can current manufacturer S&Ws.
