It's a tank.Then the Gp100 Match Champion comes into play as well, but may want to occasionally carry it
It's less money, built very tough and had the Ruger name (which means great service if needed).Ruger Sp101 3” (down to 5 shots, not as nice trigger as the other wheel guns but considerably less $$, 1 oz lighter than the Colt, built tough, and lots of aftermarket goodies available). These are the most available and least expensive by $200-300. Trigger can be smoothed out from what I hear (or put 1000 rounds or so down range). Holsters, speed loaders, etc probably the easiest to find at fair prices.
So, lets hear it peoples!
