Back when 2700 was more popular and revolvers were THE guns, the Colt Officer's Model and S&W K frames were the most used. A lot depends on type of use, light target loads are easier on a revolver than heavy service/combat/hunting loads. Likewise lead bullets are easier on the bore. How about Dan Wessons, they were quite popular with metallic silhouette shooters.
