A .357 for Christmas... But which one?!?!?

Try to get your hand on a 686P, the one I got...,, 7 rounds .... S&W all the way !!!

My vote is for the 686

I have 686 with 6" barrel and it's the most accurate handgun in my collection!

agree, the accuracy of the S&W revolvers is amazing, both my 357magnum (686P) and .44magnum (629) are so dead center !!! )

686 as well. Currently on the hunt for one with a 2 1/2 inch barrel. Santa???

I saw one for sale just recently...I think it was either the EE or Epps. Good luck!

I think it was on the EE, went quick!

I just bought a Smith and Wesson 586 silhouette shooter locally and I couldn't be happier...I've owned a Smith 19-3 and a Smith .22 and this Smith is the sweetest I've ever fired...Of course you have to like blued revolvers...I've also owned a Ruger GP so I get the drift...It is a soft shooter for both calibers....I like Blue because I don't want to be flashing off the sun out there in the bush or anywhere else.

Couldn't agree more!

There's the problem with 12.x regulations devaluing your property, it goes fast because it's cheap .

Frontier Firearms has a 686 with a 107mm barrel in stock.

As someone with both- If you got one and never fired the other I don't think you'd be missing too much! Both are great guns and great fun to shoot- you just can't go wrong no matter which you pick.

The Smith definitely has a nicer single action, but I personally prefer both the cylinder release on DA trigger on the Ruger. Both are much more accurate than I am though!
