hey guys, i'm in the market for a new revolver. I'm really liking the smith 686 plus. I'm just curious as to any suggestions in the smith line, that might be a better choice as far as a .357 mag goes. I'm just mainly going to use this gun as a choice for target shooting and home defense. Maybe the occasional stroll out on the farm and through the woods. I imagine it'd be a little chunky for a carry piece. Also, any suggestions for barrel length? I was kind of inclined to go with a 4 inch. I don't currently own a variety of revolvers so, figured i'd drop a line here and see what advice you all might have.......thanks in advance, hvychev77
