I was just looking at my 6-inch S&W 686 and wondering why everyone feels like putting so much steel in its guns? I really miss skinny barrels. I'm not saying all barrels need to be skinny or all guns lightened, but it would be nice to have the option. Every magnum made today seems to have a lug under it! I'd love it if my S&W 686s didn't have lugs or, if they did, it would be only an inch under the muzzle.
I have only a crude photo editor, but something like this:
They could add a vented rib along the top or just shave a little more topside to make it appear more conventional, but it would be a compromise for people who carry outdoors, where a lug is just more to...lug. So it becomes, if you were out hiking or camping, would you rather have a Ruger GP-100 or a Ruger Security-Six?
What do you think?
