Hey folks!
I currently have a S&W 686 .357 with a 6" barrel that I LOVE!!! Here is a picture:
But that is not my question. My question is this: I am looking for a new carry revolver, and this one is way too big.
I love the 686, and I was wondering if the 686 with 2.5" barrel is a good option? Does anyone carry a .357 snub similar to this? I am not looking for an ultra-concealment gun--I have my 642 for that. I am looking for something to carry in an OWB holster.
Is the 2.5" barrel too short to really take advantage of the .357 magnum? I may not even use .357's in it. I may just carry .38 +P's to be honest. But the extra heft of this gun would be nice.
Any input would be great!!
