i have never owned a revolver. my brother bogarted all my dads service revolvers from back in the day, when dad was a peace officer. i'm cool with it, since my brother chose the same profession.
before i say something ridiculous, like "i am done buying firearms" i think i need one more - a revolver. then after that, i can unload a bunch of shotguns, and move thru life being done with looking for the next gun. life with extra space in the gun-safe just feels right to me. my hoarding days are behind me..i just dont want a bunch of stuff anymore.
i shoot for fun. plinking. i would also use this for a backpacking gun. last time bowhunting elk in north idaho..when the wolves were howling around us, i did feel a bit naked. i stayed very close to my brother's Glock. we packed a dead elk out in pitch darkness. the wolves were probably far away, but they sounded close.
i keep coming to the same conclusion. the 686 plus. i like how it looks. i shot one with a longer barrel and the accuracy was like magic. even in my hands. those big sights line up nice and i can see them easily. i heard you dont give up that much with the 3". it is fairly compact.
fairly expensive tho. for what it is. does anyone have this exact firearm? any real world review?
