Also, someone mentioned the 686 being more sleek and smaller. I agree. But...

It's smaller in feel, but that GP100 7 cylinder debacle by helped Ruger prove the point that no one ever brought up before, the S&w L frame is bigger. Even the Taurus 66 Medium frame is bigger than the GP100. Both frames accommodate a 7 round cylinder fine. Not so on the GP100.

Again. I own both.
