Too bad you had to let that one get away Jim. Don't feel bad, though, we all have those "shoulda kept" firearm stories! Thanks for watching!BrokenolMarine wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 7:35 amI had a 625 years ago, but as a young fella with four kids, I ended up trading it off to another Officer for a more suitable gun for my needs for PPC. It is one of the guns I wouldn't mind having back in the safe. There are a few.
Good job.

Here you go! I made this one a couple of weeks ago.markiver54 wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 3:39 pmHoward,
I too am a revolver lover. My favorite is my Smith 686. Would love to see you work one of those sometime. Mine is 6" and as far as hand guns go, I find it to be very accurate!
Love your videos; keep them coming!
I think the 686 is just about the perfect platform for the .357 Magnum cartridge. It's built heavily enough to stand up to extended shooting with the most powerful .357 ammo you can find (nuclear handloads excluded, of course). The heavy barrel also causes it to be somewhat muzzle heavy; which helps keep muzzle-flip from being too bad. Conversely, the 686 is lighter and more compact than the N-frames, and that makes it more "packable." Add to that S&W's action and accuracy, and you've got a revolver that's just hard to beat. The 4" version is my favorite, but the others are great choices in their own right.markiver54 wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 6:33 pmThanks Howard, musta missed that one. Thanks for the link!
What are your thoughts on the 686?
