Actually I agree with the offspring, her model 19 is more lovely. In addition it has no MIM parts, a pinned barrel and is superior in most every way.
I gave it to her for her 15th b day.
The 686 is going to be the workhorse
BTW, I have never thought that anyone cared about what I bought but because I so enjoy other people's new toys, I thought I would return the favor.
