I have discovered the Ruger 7 shot was a myth, seems S&W does make 7 shot though.
I'll pass on the .327 the whole idea is to have a readly available cartridge
.357 or in a pinch 38 Spc. is the choice.
I'll opp for the GP 100 I think, in 3".
Both are strong revolvers , I perfer the longer grip of the GP 100...
