If you've narrowed your preference down to a couple of models, I recommend doing research online for availability and pricing. Don't forget to add local FFL fees and shipping costs. You may also need to tack on a credit card fee of 3% or more, whereas you can pay with cash locally and save that fee. Take your results to a few local gun shops and ask if they can beat or at least match your best deal.
GP100 is considered one of the best entry level revolvers, if not one of the best revolvers in general, so might as well start of good.
I have heard a few people tell me GP100 but my heart wants that 686 Mountain gun.. I gotta go feel some out but I may have them order me one it looks too damn good

Check out Security Equipment Corp., they usually have a selection of Rugers, S&Ws and Colts. I usually drop in to check out the good stuff, used S & W revolvers on consignment.

Which local shop best for revolvers? I'm looking to buy my first revolver and I would love to be able to look at some Rugers and Smiths side by side. I think young guns has a few Smiths, does anyone know of a shop that has a good revolver selection?
If anyone reading this wants to sell one lmk. Looking for 3-6" barrels only
