I own a 6" GP100 and I like it alot. I also own a 4" 686 and I like that too, but you will not go wrong with a Ruger. Ruger makes a good solid revolver. As a sidenote I prefer the factory grips. I put on Houges, but after a few shooting sessions I put the factory grips back on. I found they absorbed the recoil better and they were easier to handle.
