I've been shooting and collecting Smith & Wesson revolvers for close to 50 years. IMHO the S&W L-frame revolvers (586/686) is the perfect .357 Magnum. It was designed specifically for the .357. Just the right size and plenty strong enough for the heaviest loads. It uses the K-frame size grip which fits most folks perfectly. Of course S&W does make .357s in both the K and N frame sizes. Both are outstanding revolvers. Just depends on what feels better to you. However, no matter what S&W you choose, I'd look for an older gun. Preferably made before 2000. I hate to admit it, but S&W has gone to Hell in a handbasket in the last 20 years or so. Ain't nothing wrong with getting another Ruger. If you liked your GP-100, get another. Personally, I never cared much for them. Just feels kinda clunky in my hands. However, I dearly love the old Security Six series. I have 4 of these. Great guns about the same size as the S&W K-frames, but much stronger. BTW: there's one for sale in the Classifieds right now. Then there's the Colts. The older ones are great guns. I'm kinda fond of the older Trooper/Lawman series. Of course the Python is at the top of the heap. Can't get better than that. I have no direct experience with the new Colt revolvers, but everything I've read and heard says they're great guns. The draw back is the Colts tend to be kinda pricey. To be completely honest, if I was in the market for a .357 revolver, I'd be looking for a good, used, older gun.

It's a surplus from some Police department. I got it off of one of those off-lease goverment surplus sites. It just oozes with old school German Sig energy with that metal frame. The action on this old girl is SO SMOOTH.

I Sure Do Miss This . . .

Partial to my old service weapon, S&W model 64. Trigger like butter and nail driver. It may not be .357 but you can put six .38 +P wherever you need them to be, quickly. Was very glad they let us purchase them when we transitioned to 9mm. Sentimental I guess. But still gets used today for snake shot when bush hogging.

In a word yes-

Some are having issues and some have never had a problem. I think a lot of it comes down to loose tolerances.

Do the Gp100 match have a smoother lighter trigger?

I lean more towards the Ruger’s too.Although not Double actions I got several single sixes ,Bearcats ,and MKII’s I love to shoot.Also 357 Blackhawks.

Nothing wrong with a S&W or Colt whatsoever, but I'm a Ruger fan. I always wanted a GP100 and after I finally got to shoot my father-in-law's 6" stainless with wood grips, I was in love. However my first revolver was a much more affordable Ruger SP101 with the flat hammer, but I never warmed up to the DAO trigger and still had the itch for the GP100. Last time I was looking for one I found a gorgeous Security Six that I also always wanted. It's in phenomenally great shape and shoots/feels perfect, but it's still not the GP100 that I always wanted. I've learned my lesson now. LOL

I have 2 GP100’s in 4” stainless and a Security Six stainless 4”, also got a S&W 627 PC 8 shot 357 5”.Ive had several other Smiths in the past. I like them all.Never owned a Colt.Its just whatever you like and can find a good deal on.

These are great guns! I'm really surprised it hasn't sold yet. I have one and love it! If you were closer, I'd likely own two.

His greatest acting is when he pitches reverse mortgages as a good deal.

Not all jeep owners think ducks are cute.

Very Nice LWRC REPR with 1 mag. Price dropped $1800 Can meet In Franklin or Erin.

You still interested in a KSG?

So was I. I worked at the Sacramento Army Depot in the early 80's, up until just a year or two before it closed, and lived in the Placerville area.

Sold.

I wouldn't sell because of any unconfirmed problems with the P320 platform. I am skeptical about the validity of the claims and have yet to see a video that clearly showed the gun going off in such a way that couldn't be explained by human error or a sloppy holster. Gun shops are still selling P320s. People are still buying P320s. Negligent discharges seem to be rare and seem to be... negligent. Until those things change, I don't see a reason to dump the platform unless you just want to do something different. For what it's worth, people still have negligent discharges with Glocks and other platforms too. You just don't hear about them because it doesn't feed into the drama.

You might want to check the rules in the 1st post.

Me thinks thou dost protest to much…

Last time I saw one of these, the guy was hunting dinosaurs!

Man, I've been shot and I know glock owners....it's a tuff decision. LOL

Guys, guys, guys. Can't we all agree that Glock, besides having the worst trigger on the market, somehow also created the most ergonomically uncomfortable gun while also magically creating a gun that looks like it was made by Fisher-Price? If we can't agree on that, can't we agree that Glock owners are the absolute vegans of the gun community? I'm jesting, as someone who loves both my Glocks and Sigs. You have two choices in life, get ND'd by a Sig owner or listen to a Glock owner drone on at how great the most uncomfortable gun on the market is. You must choose one of these two paths.
