This is an old thread but I wanted to tell my experience with this gun.
I have had two beautiful S&W model 686 in .357 magnum. Both failed without much use, and had to be returned to Smith who graciously repaired them at no cost. They worked well.
I bought my near new Ruger GP-100,( 4" barrel in blued steel, .357) in 1986.
It has performed flawlessly through an estimated 8-10 thousand rounds without a visit to the gunsmith. The revolver is still tight and accurate with a very nice single action trigger, and I shoot it better than anything that I have ever owned.
I got rid of those beautiful 686's because I no longer had confidence in them. After all these years I have to say that for me, the Gp-100 is the best revolver I ever had.
