Thumbs up New Acquistion!

https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/model-686-plus-1

Have not shot it yet, but am sure it will shoot well!
BTW: 6 inch heavy barrel and 7 shot capacity!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Very nice.

My wife has one with a 2 1/2 inch barrel. Built like a tank. Best wishes for a long and happy union.

The 6 inch barrel just makes sense to Me. Nicely balanced in my opinion.
Well built gun too! ( Except for the Clinton Lock!) Which won't be a problem!
I'll post Range report soon as Weather Permits here!

I agree, the 6” is the best balanced followed by the 4”.
