Yes, Colts are nice, my buddy has two and I love them, but way out of my price range.

Look right above the cylinder release in Blue Wing and chocaholic's pictures. Chocaholic's has the lock, Blue Wing's does not.
As far as the 6" vs 4" issue, I shot better when my eyes worked better. But you will get more velocity (and a longer sight radius) from a longer barrel. With a full lug revolver (both the GP 100 and 686 are), you may find that you have a preference due to the weight, check them both out. As far as grip options go, you will have more with the 686. I believe L and K frames share the same grips, so lots of options wood, synthetic, stag, ivory..., fewer with the GP. Most people like Ruger's rubber grips with the wood inserts, but there is more criticism of the finger grooved rubber grips they use.
