As Patentmike said, consider the 686+ in 5" - like the may-be-still-available 'Stocking Dealer Exclusive' (#164284) I bought last month. It has a 5" half lug barrel with an orange HiViz front sight and V-notch rear - with the 7-shot cylinder and Ahrends finger-groove squared cocobolo grips. Mine was priced new the same as the regular 4" 686+. It points nearly as well as my favorite 625 & 629 Mountain Guns - and actually a tad better than my earlier favorite plinker, a 6" 66-6, also equipped with the HiViz and same Ahrend's. Those grips are nice - I have them on my 696 and N-frame MG's, too. Great plinker - and just acceptable for HD, etc, although CC will require some doing... Check your dealer for availability on that 5" h-l...
