This is just a great excuse to post my fave 4" medium frame CCW .357: a factory round-butt Model 19-5, possibly a State Department contract overrun.

You have the coolest guns.
S&W 686
Neat. That doesn't negate anything I said about flexibility. The fact you don't care about the flexibility doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Let's go back and look at what you said and what I said before you decided it was a personal attack.
Ok, you've already admitted that was wrong. The Redhawk has it's own action.
Already addressed. Even Bowen states they are not as flexible in terms of pull weights. So, you're wrong. Feel is subjective, but I don't see many people asking for a hump in the middle of their trigger pull.
I thought it was 8 lbs. Right. If you think 10 lbs is good enough, great. That doesn't change that it is less flexible than a GP100 or S&W, which can get below that and still have reliable ignition.
If you shoot in SA or not is irrelevant to which revolver has more options for pull weight. If you prefer a 15 lb trigger and shoot walnuts at 200y with it, that doesn't change which revolver has more options for pull weight.
Caleb, I love you like a brother, but you're wrong about it being okay to shoot Ruger revolvers. It's bad and wrong, just like shooting Colts, and you should feel bad. (People tell me it's also wrong to shoot foreign revolvers, but they're just funnin' me because there's no such thing as foreign revolvers.)
However you're absolutely right about not shooting DA revolvers in single action. I paid extra for a DA trigger and only some kind of un-'Murrican commie symp pinko would shoot the gun in SA mode.
(This post may be read with whatever degree of tongue in cheek it takes to get a chuckle. )

I sense someone who thumb-cocks their DA revolvers. NTTAWWT!
