Greeting's To All:
I have noticed that betweeen my newest additions, a 629-5 .44 Magnum and a 686-5 .357 Magnum that the markings alongside both sides of the barrel are completely different.
The 629 Classic appears to be laser engraved; while the 686
is the old standard stamped lettering. Why is this? Looks
like they would just do one or the other, on all models.
Any input would be appreciated, and many thanks in advance.
Best Wishes,
