I do suspect
That the strength of the new mid-sized flat tops may be underestimated by some, too.
The robustness of the forcing cone is definitely something to consider, as Otony pointed out. Think 624 versus 696. I have held a couple .44 Special GP100s, but have not had them apart to look at in detail.
I'm definitely a "both/and" kind of guy when it comes to discussions like this. I like my single actions and my double actions. :)
