From what everyone is saying I do believe I'll be looking for the 4". My options seem to be: a S & W Model 586/686 series which a lot of ya'll have mentioned, S & W Model 66, Ruger GP 100 series which was mentioned a good bit in this thread, and the Taurus Model 66 I mentioned to begin with. I suppose my next step is to actually shoot them. Unfortunately I have not shot any of these models and the only one I've held is the Taurus Model 66 which the local gun store had new. That felt decent in my hand.

Anyone have any testimonials about the shooting of these 4 models? Which company has better service guarantee etc.?(Obviously this won't factor though if I buy an used one in order to stay below my price max)
