I suspect S&W and perhaps older Colt revolvers are most commonly used in Distinguished Revolver competition but has anyone had experience with the Ruger GP100 (actually the GP161 with 6" barrel)?
The Ruger is over $200 less expensive than a S&W 686 (using MSRP). I have three Rugers but all are Single Action fixed sight models so I am not familiar with their Double Action adjustable sight guns.
Would this be a case of "penny wise, pound foolish"?

Another DR question: Ruger GP100 suitable?

The positive: I have seen GP-100's on the line at DR leg matches here in PA. They are certainly accurate enough.
But, I'm not sure they are as easy to do an action job on as the usual Smith or Colt.
It's usually possible to pick up a used Model 19 Smith at a pretty reasonable price, and, unless abused by a previous owner, they shoot really well.
