After three long months of waiting the Peoples republic of NJ, notified me my permit is ready. I'm a reformed auto man, searching for his first wheel gun. As I will be trading in my 910 it needs to fufill a number of functions
not the least would be as a defensive tool. I have pretty much settled on an L frame 686 (I like the action, and feel in my hands). I also like the 4" barrel for it's versatility ( hunting, target, carry, home defense)......but now
Im torn....do I want the six or 7 shot cylinder. I may use it for hunting with heavier loads, is the 7 shot cylinder strong enough to handle 180gr loads?
I also like the seven shot, for the advantage the extra shot might mean in a defensive situtation. However, by all account the six is faster to load, by way of Safarilands speedloaders, which only come in the six. I also want durability, I don't like to buy guns that can't last a lifetime, and i plan on shooting a lot of full power rounds.......as you can see I'm stuck
please HELP!!!
