If you want to compete in revolver division competitions, a 6-shot would be your best option (686 SSR, or Ruger GP100 Match Champion)
I also like the 8 shots you get with the new redhawk verses the seven with the s&w. I know it is one shot but still means something.
Thanks guys. I have been looking again at the 8 shot 627 pc. Again have not seen either Gun but have seen some issues with the barrels not being strieght on the smiths. I think someone eluded to this in a previous thread hear so that is a little concerning. But I am actively looking to see both models at this time. I do love my tiger and it is a tack driver but with the cost about the same the smith is intriguing to me.
