A threat at my window will likely see a muzzle flash rather than a dramatic furtive movement while I try to dig a pistol from an IWB holster. If my car is broken into, that obviously sucks; but they are only getting a 6-shot revolver that I can easily replace. Otherwise, I would prefer a GLOCK 20...

I've been doing this for 15 years, and this is what works for me.
A Ruger GP100 or GP101 is a nice revolver. You would have trouble replacing it for $200. I really hope you are not leaving that revolver in your vehicle unsecured. You may think you can easily replace it, but what about the person that Thug uses it on after he takes your easily replaceable revolver. Especially if you know that person. A Thug would love to have a high quality, 6 shot revolver vs. a POS he picked up somewhere off the street. Be responsible. Secure your firearm when you are not in the vehicle.
