Blackhawk
I guess I'll be the only one to say it - the Vaquero. If you pack it around a ton, you have zero worries about the sights being damaged. They are strong as tanks. And of course, they look the best - at least to a cowboy!

The three point locking system, the two piece ejector and the stud grip frame are all major improvements over the previous century of revolver designs. Each of those features addresses a major concern with reliability/shootability.

That said, my go to field sidearm is a Blackhawk 41 Mag.

This is what I was looking for when I started the thread. I've not owned either of the three you mentioned, so can you mention if there are any design differences between these or are they basically the same design but just sized differently with the GP100 a standard size for most hand sizes, the SRH for powerful big bores, and the SP101 for women?

The anchor of their revolver line.
Rclark said:Blackhawk (Single six is just a scaled down BH, or you might also say the BH is scaled up Single Six) -- Well designed, simple to use, simple to disassemble, very strong, very useful in whatever caliber you are comfortable with. Would not be without one. The DAs are just a side show in comparison.
