MMMMM can't remember. Probably traded it for something.
The GP100 would be my choice of the two. When the Match Champion came out some years ago I just decided to dress my standard Ruger instead of trade it. I added the Match Champion grips and the fiber optic front sight. I thought the trigger was already pretty decent on mine.

It's hard to beat a K frame! The older ones won't stand up to a steady diet of magnum loads though. Now we are getting into how you will use the gun.The SW Model 66 is also on the table.

This is something we discussed. The designs of some .357 revolvers, like a S&W and others, have where the back of the steel on the pistols grip frame, is exposed in the rear of the backstrap and also the front between the two sides of the grips panels. There is no protection from this during the shooting of full power magnum loads.
The energy and recoil is transferred from the back of that steel frame, directly to your shooting hand. This is why many, express their experience of brutality, when shooting heavy, full power loads. Your Taurus, is designed this exact same way. Unless some type of absorbing grip is placed around the steel frame of these designs, instead of letting the steel frame be exposed between them? It will always be the case that some people can just manage it better than others.
However, as we get older, I hear more complaints then I do people actually carrying full power magnum loads in these pistols except in bear country.
The Ruger and Rhino's back strap designs, works an an interior post, which is completely wedged in and surrounded by, recoil and energy soaking rubber or wood. The shooting hand is not exposed to any metal frame which energy and recoil can be transferred directly to the hand.
This is why you enjoyed shooting them, but not so much your Taurus.

My financial advisor deems only 1 is necessary.
I thought you were familiar with Frank's grips. You did say some type of absorbing grip though. They manufacture both exposed backstrap and covered backstrap. I don't have a bit of a problem using the covered backstrap ones and I don't have big hands. Hogue and others also make them.

OK, you don't see a Magnaported 681 very often.
Love the Dick Special too, or is it an Agent?
Larry Kelly did the porting when he was still with us. The little Colt is a Cobra.
Should have been my first guess w/ the anodizing & blue finish. Hope to have one, someday...
