My FiL got a NiB GP100 a few years ago. It has a better trigger than I expected. He shoots it better than any of his semiautos, other than maybe his CZ75.
I almost never buy new guns. IIRC, every single one of these was bought used:
Rossi - I had a nice 6" Model 971 from... maybe the early 90's? It had nice sights, decent trigger, and was reliable. Cost me maybe $300.
Ruger - My Blackhawks are some of my very favorite handguns. I lucked into a used 6.5" version from the mid or late 70's for $299. It's a great shooter.
S&W - I have the less expensive N frame... I think it's the Model 27, and the 28 was the fancier version. It's 6", blued, and its trigger is incredibly good. It's from the late 70's. Maybe the geometry of the larger models allows for a better trigger pull? I paid in the mid $400's for it.
Taurus - I've had three different variants of the Model 66: from 1983, 88, and 90. They all go/went bang every time and the triggers went from good to excellent. The only one I bought at modern prices was in the low $300's.
All of the ones I've listed were/are very satisfactory. The Smith has the best trigger. You can't go wrong with a Blackhawk if you want a strong revolver that will last for a WHOLE LOT of rounds.
Good luck to the OP. I'm looking forward to pictures.
