    I thought there already was one, I seem to remember seeing a J-frame with a four something inch barrel at the NRA show a year or two back. I remember thinking it would be legal here. It's not on their website now so it must have been brief.

    Shame it's not a 7-shot, I didn't even realize they still made them with six-shot cylinders, the seven-shot cylinders have been around since 1996, iirc.

    Are there are any dealers in Alberta that are likely to have these in stock long enough for me to look at one first? I'm quite keen on buying one but I'm not so keen I want to buy it sight unseen. Been a long time since I've used a 686.

    NOT LIKELY. I suggest you put a deposit on one to hold it for when it comes. If you go in and don't like it, the store will likely let you use the deposit on something else. As for the firearm if you don't take it, they will not be worried, they will sell it in under 1 second to one of the 100 people standing in line for it. Just like if they bring in the 629 with full underlug, I'll take 3, just because. Now that we have our majority, I'm going to be going on a buying spree. LGR going down.

    One more thought on the forthcoming 629s. Since they are a special make up SKU for the Canadian market anyways, and that the remarkably asinine American product liability laws do not apply here, could it be possible to delete the internal locking mechanism from behind the cylinder release and simply have a solid, old style frame?

    thanks,
    I may be the only one to benefit form this. I'm still waiting for my RPAL to come in the mail and now I have a sporting chance of snatching one of these up before they go out of stock.

    I think the Ruger GP100 4.2" looks nicer, but I'm a bit biased since I have the 6" Ruger. :D
