I carried the old Security Sixes for work for many years (the Speed Six was agency issue) and they are still my medium-frame DA of preference as working guns. Do I like Smiths? Of course!

Some years back I came into a stainless GP-100 from a shooter's estate. It was just about NIB but someone had worked over the DA and installed a trigger stop, which I normally don't care for. The action was incredibly good. It was for sale in a local gun shop, and I overheard someone make a comment that they were thinking of getting it to throw it under the truck seat.

Even thought I didn't "need" that GP that did it. It's at its best as a field gun due to the weight and bulk, but does it ever shoot! Hot 125s feel like wadcutters, and it's one of the few DAs I own that wears the original stocks. It really is a great gun.
