I voted either S&W or Ruger. Probably would go with one of the 629 models as they're all lighter than the Ruger. Another option might be the S&W Model 69 but you lose a round.
I attend multiple banquets each year and I recently joined the committee for our local NWTF chapter so I'm getting to see all this as we start planning for our banquet this year. A lot of it is catering to the crowd you get at your event. I like higher end guns, but having to sell chances at...
