Comments on Smith Wesson 686 Deluxe?

I have this exact revolver (686p Deluxe), extremely acurate, high quality. and because it is a 7 shots, the grooves for the catch on the barrel are in the thikess part of the metal, not like a 6 shots is (the grooves on a 6 shots are exaclty on top of each chamber, which give not much place for the groove....), because of that, it is better to have a 7 shots over a 6....
I own both the 6 and 7 shot smiths. I really like the 7 shot but there is one distinct drawback, speedloaders.
The only ones I have found for the "7" are the cruddy HKS ones whereas the other one has all the safariland loaders it could ever need.
Really, you can't go wrong with a Smith (despite what Ruger fans try and sell you
)

I like 7-shot revolvers conceptually, but until the stagnant rules for most handgun games change, I wouldn't buy any. They are very cool but given how restricted our use of handguns is already, I don't want to buy one that takes one of the most exciting options for use practically off the table.
If you have no intention of playing IDPA, IPSC, ODPL, etc., then there's no reason not to pick it up on the other hand.
