To answer the question you didn't ask---The Ruger is a good solid gun but revolver shooting is all about the trigger and the 686 is the way to go.
With a spring kit or a bit of work by a gunsmith the Ruger can be every bit as good as the S&W but if you put the springs or the work into the S&W you will have something way better than the Ruger can hope to be |

When considering a .357, the only considerations should be which S&W model should you go with. Ruger should not even be in the equation. And yes, I own several including a pre-lock 686+ and a 386+ Mountain Lite. Get a 4" barreled 686+, he should be able to shoot it for life!

Gotta love the forums....op asked about price shopping and here come a bunch of opinions on why one is better than the other. I wonder why I even bother reading on here anymore

I just paid $690 for a 686 plus 6" with talo grips from buds. Best price I could find after a week or two of looking.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Haha I wasn't really looking for a comparison between the two, but I appreciate the comments nonetheless. For me, I don't think I can go wrong with either of these. Solid reviews and track records for both. I wouldn't doubt if either of these revolvers outlived us. I guess it comes down to how much I love my brother...I think I'll go GP100

Might be worth your while to check out the local classifieds, I have seen clean GPs around here for as low as $425(those don't last long though
 ) most of the time they are closer to $475-500.
