Thank you all for your input. Truly, thank you.
My biggest concern was buying a 686, GP100 or a 586 and THEN getting that “By the way…” statement from the gun clerk, guy at the range, guy on a forum. You know what I mean, the “By the way, that’s a great gun but they can’t handle (whatever) ammo” or “By the way, after 500 rounds of heavy use you should have (whatever) checked to make sure it’s okay”.
I hate “By the way” surprises.
So, I have decided that when I come across any of the guns I have listed, except for the Redhawk I plan to make a purchase.
I already have several S&W revolvers and I have owned a few Ruger single actions but never a Ruger DA.
So, I think it’s high time I had one, so the GP100 will be top of my list. Followed by the models 27, 686 and 586.
Thank you
