OP, I recently polled a bunch of my shooting buddies - we all like DA revolvers - how many actually shoot double action? Turns out we hardly ever shoot in DA, and thumb the hammer for every shot., in the woods, at the range, etc. In which case a good SA Ruger can do just as good a job for the task required, often with a better trigger, stouter load, for less $$. Just a thought. Doesn't mean I don't carry the 586, but the BH gets more holster time than it used to. My .02. I had a 66, sold it when the first child came along many moons ago, and I miss it.
