I have had them a long time.Back in the 1980's.My favorite is the 686 as its only used for target shoot'n and i don't take it out too much anymore
since semi-auto handguns seemed to take over the world and i took the bite as well. But the Smith 686 is one accurate son of a gun.My favorite
target loads are 38 spl with Speer 148gr HBWC and 2.8gr Bullseye...gets a nice big hole pattern at the indoor range.Of course the full load
.357 mag loads are real fun too.I load a Hornady 125gr HP/XTP with 8.6 unique.That would be a great defense load but the wadcutters work too.
You don't see many people shoot'n revovers anymore much like ya used too do ya?
The reason i bought this gun is the Texas Highway Troopers used to carry the before they went to the Semi-auto's.
