I've been casually looking for a new revolver in 357 magnum. Earlier today I was walking around a gunshow and had my S&W 629 Mountain Gun with me at the time as I was looking for a set of grips for it. I got a chance to paw over a 686 for a while and compare it directly w/ my 629. It's a nice gun, no doubt and I'm sure it's a great shooter. But it's essentially the same size as my 629.... if I'm going to keep the same size frame I'll stick with my 629 which I love greatly. I'm just looking to add a 357....well, because I don't have one - no good reason.
I do NOT want a j-frame sized gun. I do want 3"-4" barrel. I prefer S&W but, unlike some, I have no problems with Taurus. Not much of a Ruger fan.
What am I missing?
edit: I saw a S&W 19-3 at the previous gun show but that dealer wasn't at this one so I didn't get to compare... but I liked it a lot when fondling it at the last show.
