It's a great revolver. It will shoot as well or better than most anyone I know. Shot one in PPC-style competition for years. The S&W 686 guys sneered at me for bringing a Ruger until I got good enough to smoke them with it.

I did put in a spring kit to get the double-action pull down to about 9 lbs and took a hard stone to the action to knock the rough edges off. Just LOVED that little detente right before the trigger breaks that you don't get on a 686.

I have a smith 13-2 .357 and the ruger kills it hands down...I wouldnt trade this GP for anything, how smooth is the single action cocking with the new spring?

[EZ3]

Couldn't say for sure, never shot single-action much. BTW, try getting your grip higher on the backstrap and cocking with your support hand thumb. Better leverage on the hammer spur and less disruption of your grip = smoother and faster shots.

I no longer have a 686 Smith. My GP100 does everything better and it feels better in my hand.

Picked up a used one in excellent shape and I won't trade it for anything. It moved right to the top of my favorite list. Excellent trigger and very accurate. More than happy

It's probably my favorite gun to shoot- its ready to go tomorrow to the range for a little range time and the 686 stays home
