GP-100 all the way

Depending on hand size, also consider the SW mod 60

GP-100. I don't think you can find a 686 for that price.

A used one I bet he could.
If price wasn't an option I'd also tell you to look at a Colt Python.
Sure, used. All things being equal, NIB, It's a Ruger GP-100, like the one shown to the left.

Actually .38 Long Colt and .38 Short Colt are same as .38 Spl except for the shorter case lengths. Not long ago they would have been considerewd deader than door nails, but the cases are back in production, and .38 LC occasionally seen from smaller mfgs aiming at CAS market.
The .38 S&W is supposed to not fit in .38Spl chamber, But ...... given a ctg running on the small side, and a .38spl chamber running a little generous it will semifrequently actually fit. If so the pressures of .38S&W runn well lower than .38Spl.
But at the origional inquirery it was excessivly open ended. OP needs to narrow his desires to small, medium, medium-large, or large. And DA vs SA.

Trust me I am not telling him not to get a Ruger GP-100 I have shot all three GP, 686 and Python and liked them all, all were 6 in stainless and the Ruger was the older model with the wood and rubber grips which is nicer than the current all rubber IMO.
He did. He said $5-600 bucks. ASSUMING he is talking new, it narrows him down to Ruger, Ruger, or ugh, Ruger. Why even consider a Taurus POS. The only options he has left is barrel length, grips, finish, etc...

No action is as smooth as a smith, I own rugers, and Dan Wessons. I like the Smiths action best.

Smith fans aren't as verbose as Ruger fanboys apparently.
