Picked up my new revolver at the FFL dealer this morning and spent a
couple of hours at the range. I really like it. It’s heavy, and it’s a tad heavy at the front of the barrel, so that means less muzzle flip when firing .357 MAG rounds. The ..38 Special rounds feel like .22LRs going off in a bull barrel target pistol…in other words, soft as a bunny’s belly. I’ll shoot a few hundred more rounds through it before I decide whether it needs to go off to the gunsmith for “improvements.” The trigger seems more than OK, but it is a little too heavy in DA for my taste. The SA is light enough, though. There’s no cylinder endshake, and the lockup is as tight as it can be. I would like to get the entire revolver bead-blasted to tone down the stainless steel shine. Oh…it’s a tack driver at 15 and 25 yards. Really tight groups. I shot three 50-round boxes of Blazer aluminum case .357s 158 grain jacketed hollow points and two boxes of PMC .38 specials 132 grain FMJs. The ..357s are… *loud* ! |

Might I ask, how many inches of barrel do you have. I'm debating on between 5 and 6 on the 686-6+ |

My dan Wesson has a 4.25 non-ribbed. It does all I need for what it is

Richard. No doubt the rounds are different annals. I have an abundance of .357 shells but usually shoot .38's and avoid all the racket and recoil
