Not as pretty as a Colt nor as refined as a Smith they have a special appeal all their own.
I've got a 44 Magnum Redhawk that's the cat's PJ's, what's yours?

My .357 Blackhawk. I'ts really beat up, but accurate.
I really like their .44 mag Redhawk. It fits me well, and with a little action work, shoots very well. It's nice and rugged too, so hot loads don't tend to shoot it loose as quick as some others. I had a Super Blackhawk in .44 mag but sold it. I often wish I didn't, but I just don't care for most modern single action revolvers. It was an extremely accurate gun though. One of the most accurate revolvers I've ever encountered. I don't like Ruger's P series guns that much (though I own a few), but their revolvers and .22's are outstanding.

I like the Ruger Super blackhawk with the 7.5" barrel in stainless steel, mainly because it looks bad A$$, and it's quite a boomer. I also love the short barreled SP101 in 357, its packs a lot of bullet in a small package.
GP-100, .357, 6 inch, stainless. Bought it because I had always wanted a 6inch .357 and got a good deal on the price and a good price on the trade in. Being a confirmed S&W snob I was shocked at how smooth the trigger pull was out of the box and it has just gotten better.

You know its not sexy, its not uber rare, its not old and it is bone box stock but I love my 3 inch, small gripped, fixed sight GP100. It just fits and it shoots like it has a targeting computer built in.

It's a toss-up between my 3" SP101
and my (new-to-me) 2 3/4" Speed-Six.
They're both just so darn handy! and dirty from a recent range trip...
I also have a 4" GP100 that I've never really warmed up to -- I might even [gasp] consider using it for trader-fodder someday soon...

My first of several wheelguns, and probably the best trigger of any that I own, especially after a full action job and about 25,000+ rounds through it.

The GP100 is the only one I own.

Ruger GP-100, SP-101 DA revolvers...
It's a hard choice between the Ruger GP-100 & Ruger SP-101 models. Both designs have merits. If I had to pick I'd select the GP-100. I'm not a big fan of fixed sights and the SP-101 only holds 5 rounds.
It would be nice if Ruger made a stainless/blue model GP-100 with adj sights, 6 rd cylinder and 3 inch barrel for the US market.
Crimsontrace now makes a Ruger GP-100 lasergrip and they have sold a SP-101 model for several years.

Blued 6" Security-Six.
The SP101 is a very close second.
