686 or GP100
I owned a 686 from the 1980's. I swapped it for an auto. I now have a GP100 because it was so much cheaper to buy than the 686 and not much difference. The 686 is a little shinier, a Little smoother, but the GP100 is very solid. I now have the funds to go after a 686, but it just doesn't make any sense. I am perfectly happy with the GP100. It now has a very smooth trigger and shoots just as good as the Smith. I would say the resale is about the same as what you originally pay for them. They are both great guns, however i would go after an older 686 than a new one with the lock. There is nothing wrong with the GP 100 either. They are both excellent choices in the 357 Mag class. I like the stainless GP100 in todays new gun market.
