Got to the range (back meadow) today, in between raindrops, damn we sure needed the rain. Kudos. Shot this 686....can you say "grin" yep, what a sweetheart, soft, accurate much nicer than the Ruger SP 101 which is a tad sharper in recoil because of it's smaller frame size, the 686 is just a much smoother, but, larger revolver. I'm very happy with it, went from factory to hand loads, soft and, full. Great revolver. It sure dots the "I" be a bad day for the tango down range.
