Which is your favorite?

 

I personally like "beefy" looking revolvers.

Because the Pro Series 686 is a fine piece.

gp-100 because it just feels more substantial than the smith. People bash the triggers, but with a spring kit it can get damn close.

Look into an N frame smith if you want beefy, like a vintage model 27. But S&W in general is the way to go. 686 is my choice of the poll options. More refined than the ruger. .38/357 is the more versitile round compared to the 625. Colts are way overpriced. S&W has superior customer service

The heft,ergonomics and sexy machining of a 686 is what I like.

GP100 with some new springs

Where's the all of the above button?

Colt King Cobra... what a friggin awesome wheel gun. I love that thing more than my Python.

Right next to the None of the Above button!

686, have two of them. Also have a 625, but it is .45ACP, I know the 625 was also chambered for the .45 Colt, did not know it was chambered for the .357 though.

 

Colts are nice but too much money and become safe queens. The Ruger just doesn't fit my hand as well as the S&W.

I love GP-100s. But everyone should have a blued Python! That thing is work of art!

It wasn't. Maybe Dtuner was thinking of the 627?

I picked the 686...but only because you've limited your choices. I've got a sweet spot for the hefty goodness a N-frame S&W brings. You should add to your list either a model 27 or model 28 for a really sweet shooter.

i have a 686 plus. Love it, and everyone else who's shot it liked it too.

Tough one for me. I have a 686 and a GP100. BUT, I want a Colt 357 real bad. I can't pick

And you are the winner!

 

I threw that in there as a curve-ball.

I picked the 686 because that is going to be my purchase after the holidays. Thinking about the 686 plus

The guns are in quite a range... what is the purpose?

 

Colt Pythons are by far the best, however I would not buy one to make it my range gun. Colt King Cobra is a great range gun, built like a tank, but still, I would be afraid to abuse a collectible.

 

For a shooter, Smith 686 is tough to beat.... and when it breaks, if it breaks, you can always buy another. Can't do that with a Colt. Colts in my opinion, have the finest Single Action trigger from the factory. Pythons are also all hand fitted guns, the rest on your list are production line guns.

 

Disc. I gots both, but do not shoot any of them... waiting on permits.

and a Ruger?

Voted for the 686 cuz it is what I have and I love it!!

I picked GP100. S&Ws are nice but the Ruger wins out with me. Colts are over rated and overpriced.

 

S&W has superior customer service

 

Not to my experience. Good customer service but nothing like I got from Ruger. Of course I only had a Ruger break once (magazine catch spring on a P90). Shipped it to AZ on Monday and got it back two days later on Wednesday. That is hard to beat. Lost a grip screw to the same gun and they just mailed me some I got a few days later.

Colts are over rated? blasthemy. Over priced?

 

If you are looking at the python... perhaps... but the colts are the only hand fitted revolvers and the quality shows. Have you shot one?

 

By far the sweetest factory trigger on any of the guns.

 

You can get a very nice Colt Trooper, or Lawman for mid $500's.

Can't see the "revolvers are crap" option...

Disagree. I managed to snag a blued Colt King Cobra for $500 once on GB. I see no reason to continue buying revolvers after that one... it's just sweet.

I can

For looks nothing beats a Colt Blued Revolver, but I have to agree with Griz. Not that I would turn down a good deal on a Python or a Trooper but I would chose a Smith over one anyday. And this is why there are multiple gun companies, something for everyone.

Still have a fondness for a well balanced and properly equipped K-frame M19. And I like the beefy heft and refinement of the M27.

I can

 

Tim I will give you $20
