Barrel life of a revolver?

[live4therut]

Hello GNutters I am looking at a couple wheel gun recently and I'm just wondering how many rounds in a barrel life for a S&W 686 or 629 shooting mostly magnum rnds?

Well, considering it's Canada and silhouette shooting has mostly died, the revolver barrel will probably outlive you. - dan

Far more important is to look for a tight lockup or at most very little play. The lockup will suffer long before the barrel.
