To everyone that weighed in...thank you very much.
I ended up deciding on the S&W 581. The same shop also had a model 65; however, I really like the weight of the 581. I'll post pics when I can.

4" carry revolver options
I am looking to add a new variation to my carry options by purchasing a 4" bbl revolver. I am a fan of 6" bbl revolvers; however, I would like to IWB carry and feel that a 4" bbl will be not only easier, but more comfortable. I've been shopping around at local pawn shops and have found a couple of possible options.
First is a S&W M581-1 at about 90% with pachmayr grips, and low profile duty sights for $375.
Second is a ported Ruger GP100 at about 99% with pachmayr grips, and target sights for $400.
Third is a S&W Model 19 at about 85% with wood grips, and target sights for $400.
Fourth is a S&W 686 (pre lock) at 99% with pachmayr grips, and target sights for $475.
I am looking for opinions on ported 357s, thoughts on which option is best, and whether these are even good deals.
