I think I want this revolver - Page 2

I'm a huge 686 fan, so any comments you get from me will be positive. I especially like that one, Top. One of my biggest regrets is selling my 6" 686.

I have been wanting a 357 wheelgun for a long time. I am still looking to pick one up maybe someday in the future. I like the Ruger series in SP101 and GP100, they seem to fit good and look good. The one originally posted with a 2" barrel looks really nice though. I am sure the 686 is a great gun! I would like one with a 4" barrel I believe from looking around.

That's a beauty! I'm not a fan of the full underlug barrel, but I do like the wood grips.

There's just something about them that I like.

I give it two thumbs up.

My primary carry gun is a S&W, and it's been this one for almost 35 years. I'm sure it will outlast me by a century or two.

It's a model 65 S&W in .357 Magnum with a pinned barrel. My son also bought a S&W .357 later. It is a model 66 which is the same gun but with adjustable sights, and with a 2 1/2" barrel. I've strongly thought about adding Hogue grips to mine. Just haven't gotten around to it. Perhaps in a few years I will get a set of rubber grips for it.
