I load the Speer 45 cal shot capsules in 45 Colt. Usually have a couple or so on the belt.... within 20 feet or so they work quite well on snakes.

38 Special in a S&W 686 6"

If those are the ONLY choices I'd go for the Diamondback. There are plenty of good used S&W's out there though which would cost a heck of a lot less. A Model 10 or Model 15 immediately comes to mind, either with the heavier barrel. No lock and forged parts... you just can't beat it.

Didn't wear much hearing protection during the Vietnam trip..... lost a LOT of hearing.

Put one on my S&W 686 last week. Have only shot with it a couple of times and have rather mixed feelings. It is absolutely great compared to trying to line up target, front and rear sights.... just put the red dot where you want the bullet to be. The down side is that so far it takes me a...

Madtrigger.... is that the Burris FastFire sight?

Evan.... not sure what data source you are looking at but I haven't seen any recommending "magnum" primers in 38 Special loads. You might have found some though.

You might consider taking up reloading.... you won't save any money though. Instead you will just shoot a lot more for the same cost. For my 686 I seldom take less than 250 rounds on any range trip.

Check with the DOJ just to be sure.

Hi Wayne.... yes, this is the square butt version. The grips are the Ahrends finger grooves. They extend no more than 1/4" below the bottom of the frame and to me are extremely comfortable. The optics are a Burris Fastfire Holographic Sight. It is a 4 MOA red dot... retails for around $275...

Can I play too? The 686 has to be my favorite S&W revolver especially with the 6" barrel. Add Ahrends grips and it is really hard to beat. Mine also has the Burris Fastfire Holographic Sight making it much more user friendly to these 61 year old eyes.

The K-38 is of 1954 vintage. The trigger was changed to the medium wide smooth version and a 12 pound rebound slide spring installed. It is just smooth as silk in double action. An absolutely classic S&W. I went to the L-frame thinking that it was a little beefier and should stand up...

Picked up a S&W 686 earlier this month with the idea that it would be a lot more suitable for Practical Pistol than my beloved K-38. In my mind the L-frame is just a lot more durable than the K-frame.... might be, might not... just seems that way to me. Also decided that I wanted one of...

My favorite "movie gun" is where they take a revolver and add an ejector rod housing to try making it look like a single action. You see them a lot in the old cowboy movies....

No problem at all to mail... I do it all the time.
