+1 on the Single Six. I've had mine for 34 years and it never misses a beat.Ruger Single Six. I don't think you can wear one of 'em out.
+1 on the 617. I have a 10-shot 617 with a 6" barrel. It shoots like a rifle and it adapts well to a red dot or small scope.Smith & Wesson 617. Great gun, great trigger.
