I want a new gun specifically for use at my local indoor range. I'm looking at the S&W 686 7" 357 as one possibility. Also considering the 929 9mm 6.5"
I'm curious about inherent accuracy and pros and cons of a rimmed revolver cartridge like .38 special vs use of 9mm in a wheel gun. I know the 929 is cut for moonclips but I think I was told the use of moonclips is optional? So I'm asking, in the 929 does the 9mm round locate off the mouth of the brass? And is that a less accurate than with a rimmed cartridge? or maybe I'd never know the difference unless tested from a Ransom Rest?
I've considered the R8 and the Pro Series 686+ also.
Presently I shoot a Pro Series S&W 60 3" and love it but it's pretty light at about 25 oz for a day at the range.
