I have a strong bias towards and preference for older S&W wheelguns. Mine have incredible actions, only one has been smithed (my late dad’s 1981 686).

The prices on the 3” K frames have been high for awhile, don’t see that changing. Many have proposed the K with a round butt and 3” is the ideal self defense revolver. The Ruger is a very strong, well built gun but I’ve never been impressed with the double action of those I’ve shot.

The Wiley Clapp GP100 is set up very nice but if the action is run of the mill Ruger than it’s not for me.
