[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4330415, member: 46104"] My personal reasons for adoring the 681 would be I love the forged and machined S&W dense stainless which takes a wonderful finish and resists deep pitting corrosion better than cast stainless with flow additives. It also a smoother and more handfitted action than others... But, primarily it is because I love larger S&W fixed sight guns but was cursed at birth with large palms and stubby fingers, and no matter whether the .44 Hand Ejector, M1917 or .38/44 Heavy Duty, I just could not shoot the things and they went away. The L-frame 681 is as close as I can come to big ol' Smiffs and it chambers an equally potent classic round. Was just again shooting it this morning with its favorite 1300fps+ true velocity 158gr SJHPs, and it is a shooter, probably better than the best effort 1.25"/25yds my aging eyes can muster, with average running more like 1.5". Guy showed up as I finished up, and said, "Nice sounding revolver," then saw the retrieved target and added, "Nice shooting, too!". Yep.... [/QUOTE]
