I Im lucky enough to have handled a selection of LBR
taurus was light, trigger was easily made pretty smooth, but quality was poor.
buntline was fun, didnt shoot it much but its not much good for some comps due to the load 1 gate setup
S&W well that speaks for itself, heavy but beautiful
super redhawk, heavy, superb quality, very accurate
Alfa thing, well I picked it up and put it back down LOL
depending what you want to shoot, ie maybe 1500 match, then the buntline is out of the list as speedloads would be a challenge, Taurus are still very expensive for what they are and I beleive that spares availability is somewhat limited, S&W well you either need to get very lucky and be right place right time, or win the lottery LOL.
leaves the super redhawk, thats whats in my cabinet now, you cant get the trigger as light as the rest, the cylinder is the same as they use for the .454 but mines 6 shot .357 so it weighs a ton.
with simple tuning and springs I have a very useable trigger. not to mention that spares are in plentiful supply,
and they not silly money, I got very lucky with mine in a local gunshop that I think was unaware as to what it was.
