Sweet lineup! Since your Smiths are post-lock with the ugly frame contour, I'd have to say my favorite is your 4" GP100.

The third gun down--is that a 617? I like the grips on it, and except for that frame contour thing, that one's pretty cool, too. :wink:

Yes, that is 617-6 with the horribly ugly safety. All I know, ugly or not, they are as blast to shoot and accurate as hell. I can overlook the holes while I am having fun with crazy smooth actions.

It's not the hole I object to, or even the lock itself, it's the way they had to straighten out that graceful curve of the frame to accommodate it. Which has nothing to do with how it shoots, of course--just a personal aesthetics thing. :wink:

Here's my old-school 17-4. "Only" a 6-shooter, and doesn't have the barrel weight of yours, but a great shooter nonetheless. I love it. :wink:
