I've done the same thing with Sig 226, HK USP, and Springfield 1911. Always come back to a 2 1/2 inch 686. Best revolver for my tastes. Of course I am thinking about getting another 1911. Gotta have one of each right?eyz said:absolutely, i've been shooting a lot snubs for about 12years of all brands. ran into my first malfunction the other day, had a burr where the plunger goes in and out. gunsmith fixed her up quick. They fit my hand better than autos, are generally more reliable, and generally more accurate. My current carry a Taurus 905 9mm snubby with gold dot 124+P. Put 100 rounds through it yesterday. Guns I've tried to replace snubs with, Glock 26,27(like carrying a block of cheese), Kahr pm9 (nice but unreliable), keltec p3at (yuk). I like 357 snubs but haven't found one stout enough at a reasonable price. Nothing like the feel and flash of a 357 out of a snub. It slaps back in your hand and the smell of gun powder. can't do that with an auto. yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I just bought the best weapon I think I've ever had the privilege to shoot, a 6" .357 Ruger GP100. Outstanding and fun to shoot, both .357 and .38 spl.
Now for my dumb question: Should I go back and try another snub? Is a Smith snub easier or more forgiving (recoil wise)?
