The Ruger Service 6, along with the security six, were both K frame sized, made to compete with Smith's K frame 66. The GP 100 is on the L frame size, made to compete with Smith's 686 & 586, both L frames.
The Security, Service, and speed six, all had the backstrap as part of the frame, so you could use grips that did not cover the backstrap, which fit most people better and allowed more finger on the trigger to stage DA. The GP 100 does not have a backstrap. The grip must make up the strap.

OB standard is a .243 with a Judge on your hip.

Not familiar with that rifle, but it looks legit. Except for that California 10 round clip

My Service 6 is a sturdy piece and I love it. I hardly ever carry it though. If it was a SHTF scenario, that would be a different story.

It's overpriced (you can get a fully ambi LWRC for the same cost) and you can't change out the stock or pistol grip.

With a nice set of wood grips it is a thing of beauty. I’ll have one some day.

AR15 because if I get in real shite, it's much easier to find ammo and magazines off the floor. AR10 would be harder to carry more ammo.

Handgun would be a Glock 22 or 17 because of similar reasons to the AR15.

I'll just go stay with my nephew and his M249. I think it takes three or four different rounds.
