I've had both a 686 and a stainless GP100, both 4" I still have the GP100. Mine is an older model with the rubber grips with the wood insert. Fits my hand better than the Smith. I installed the Wolff springs and it has a pretty decent trigger now. Mine loves the 180 XTP's over a stout charge of H110. Another thing I like about the GP100 is how easy it is to change the front sight. Literally a 30 second job.
