Wife came to be earlier and said “I think you need a revolver”.  Guess it’s time to apply for another p2p.  
 

Any suggestions?   Probably look at .357 since she could shoot 38 out of it with manageable recoil.   I had a list of candidates years ago when I was looking but lost it in a boating accident. 
 

Maybe I can parlay this to also get something to teach the kids with. Maybe an AR-10   

Sw 686 is most obvious 

Was able to find a Taurus M66 4inch 357 Magnum 7 Shot.  Price is not bad and didn't want to spend close to 1k.

Just do what @Pizza Bob tells you to do... That's what I did.

...except clean your guns. That's optional.

Wth are you doing up so late. ?

I saw the 686 and it looked sweet but that’s a lot of coin. 

Btw.  Bobs plenty asleep by now

Worth it.  Me bob and toadette all shoot them in icore.    Well actually.  Bobs kinda fancy.  He shoots a modified one.   929 for bob.  

As soon as i get my 145 gr reloads right ill be shooting my 929 with moon clips. Shot 686 for a year or so with speed loaders.  Kicking the semi’s asses.    Bitches.

Good thinking.  Purchase are always better when it's a package deal.

The S&W 686 is a great gun - I have one and love it. I also have an older Model 19 which is a little less heavy, still handles .357 Mag and has a really sweet trigger that was smoothed out the old fashioned way - used lots.

My 625 is great too for delivering 230gn of goodness but is really heavy for carrying around.

For plinking good fun the 617 in .22LR is also a great option.

625 is nice.  Not good for smaller folks though.  Major power factor though. Pros and cons

I second the S&W 686.  I bought mine used after Bob checked it out for me.  Love it.

I have a 4inch S&W 686 and I love it.

I’m noticing a trend.

She’s a beaut Clark.  

S&W 686, was the first handgun I bought as soon as I turned 21, many years ago.  Still my favorite handgun to shoot...and the wife and kids love it with .38 special loads!

#MeToo

 

Bought my first handgun at age 21 in 1993. Bought a 6" stainless 686..   After all these years, i bet i havnt put more than 300-400 rounds through it. Its my babied safe queen..  Always a special place in the heart for your first love; i mean gun....  

 

 

Ruger GP 100, no it's not a 686 but it's a pretty good substitute.
