I have dry fired a K6S or two at an LGS. They were nothing special, IMO. My slicked up GP is a fair bit better.

Not another dime.
I tend to agree - I’ve never owned a SP101 but have fired many, and my K6s continues to impress the heck out of me.

Look at post #84 for the link.

Understood, but that’s a “slicked” up GP. The K6s factory, off the shelf trigger is exceptional when compared to other factory, off the shelf, current production, new DA revolvers per the OP. Since it’s basically a S&W design you can “slick” it up a wee bit more with a standard S&W smooth and tune treatment. Per the OP spec of “off the shelf” there isn’t another revolver that comes fresh out of the factory box with such a sweet action.
Thanks!
Almost all manufacturers have so-so QA (if any at all) and buyers sometimes have issues. Potentially you could be one of those buyers no matter which gun you buy.
The Ruger is the larger of the revolvers on your list, which may be a positive or negative depending on your needs. My subjective opinion is the new King Cobra has the nicer trigger of the bunch. Bear in mind that given the subpar QA there will be variances in triggers between the same models rolling off the assembly line, so you could have a Lemon trigger.
Apologies for sounding negative, but given the (lack of) quality standards of firearms produced today I am.
One upside is that S&W has address the forcing cone issues on the K frame so the new mod 66 should be very robust.
Following up on the follow-up, a Bianchi 111 Cyclone has been added to the gallery of "current, off-the-shelf" GP100 holsters, making it a trio so far. This 111 is, unfortunately, suede lined, which was disappointing but not entirely unexpected; not super-smooth suede, mind you... but if you ordered one described as suede-lined (even in teeny, tiny, kitten-sized fine print you had to hunt for... or somehow ignored), my guess is that it is going to show up with suede-lining.
I will give it props for a tight initial thumbstrap fit and clean lines (IIRC, Red Nichols designed this series). The crossdraw option is pretty good as far as the angle goes, and the leather itself is not too bad, considering. Any front sight blade over the standard 4" GP100 height might be problematic in this example. Of the three tried so far, this 111 may turn out to be the most cost-effective and "universal" of the lot, but nothing so far has leaped out in front. The nostalgic part of me tells me to settle on this one, possibly since the first "good" holsters I ever owned were 1970's Bianchis.
On the other hand, nostalgia has occasionally gotten my butt swatted with a rolled-up gun rag, metaphorically speaking.

I meant to ask this earlier, but what grips are those? They look like the normal, classic "target grips", but round butt.
Thai grips from ebay. I forget which seller
