I can see the appeal of 8 rounds.glock27 wrote:i have a 340 j frame, im wanting a full size 357. it wouldnt be a daily carry like the my J frame is. ive looked at the 686+ and have debated on them however my buddy has a 686 2.5" i do like, im wanting somethings different 8 rounds.
plus how much easier is a L frame easier than N when you get the spare round?
The 627 is also so much more expensive than the 686, that you can practically buy a 686 and have enough left over for another j-frame. The extra money isn't worth the 2 rounds to me. However, God Bless America, we are still free to make our own choices without about half of our own money. So if it grabs your interest, go for it.
