Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

I like the 3 newer relolvers. My favorite is the snub top left. Smith 325 PD?

Seeing all these beauties is really making me want to buy my first revolver. Any recommendations for a carry .357? I've been looking at a 686 or 686 Plus with a 3" barrel.

My father bought a TALO 686+ with a 3" barrel and it's a fine weapon. Its size and weight really tame the Magnum recoil, and it's not too large or too heavy to carry. He uses a Galco Summer Comfort to carry it from time to time. He loves the trigger, and feels the 3" barrel offers a sight edge in velocity over the 2.5" and points/balances a little more naturally.

I really enjoy shooting my 2.5" model 19, but I definitely feel the recoil more in a K frame. It's not unpleasant, just more pronounced. Both are superbly accurate, but the slightly larger 686 does wonders to tame recoil in Magnum loads. They feel like .38+P loads.

If you pick up a 3" 686 and hate it, I'll take it off your hands

I'm torn between the 686 and the Ruger GP100

My preference has always been for Smith and Wesson. A Ruger feels foreign in my hand, and I find them to less attractively crafted. I certainly can't say they are a poor or vastly inferior weapon, just not my favorite. I also find a push-in cylinder latch to be odd. If you can at least hold each weapon you might be able to quickly choose a favorite. Shooting both is obviously the best choice, but short of that just handing each weapon might provide some insight.

Offer still stand to take a 3" 686 off your hands if you buy one and find it's not for you.

Cool revolvers gents!

 

[led4thehed2]

Alright, we're long overdue for some 6-gun love on here, so here's a picture I took today of my "classic" Smiths.
Top: 19-3 (1975)
Middle: 10-5 (1974)
Bottom: 19-6 (1989)

I also have a 642-2, but that one doesn't really fit in with the rest of 'em. Great little gun, but the looks are all wrong and you can find one of those anywhere.

Only wheel gun I own.... Remington 1858 (replica). Fun shooter though! And surprisingly accurate!

I need to get the 2" LCR and 3" GP100 out for a family photo.

My newest 6 shooter.

Pre Model 27. My guess is less than 100 rounds fired, I put 35 down range the other day and it is a tack driver in both single action and double action. This one will get very little use now that I know its true value.
