The GP 100 is outstanding. Their triggers, from the factory seem to run the gamut from atrocious to wow, that's not just good for a Ruger, that's a nice trigger. Check them out handle them side by side and choose the one you like better. Very comparable functionally, what sets them apart is pretty much subjective, so the one you like better is better.

Much of the shooting community hates S&W's lock in their new production, so be aware. Used revolvers make a solid purchase. Know that S&W redid its K frames, I believe tabs is correct about the older 19/66 13/65 S&W, (keep bullet weight 140 and above, shoot primarily .38's for practice), no such caveats for 686/586 (L frame) or Rugers. But I believe new production K frames with the 2 piece barrel are not subject to the same failures as the older Smiths.

You cannot make a bad choice if deciding between GP 100 and 686, look them over and get the one you like better. 6" will get you more velocity.
