Which S&W .357 revolver would you choose?

[gun001guns]

I'd do SW model 60 SS 3 inch barrel

 

[Chief Sapulpa]

686 SSR 4" barrel.

 

[HiredHand]

I'd say 686.

 

[ronin0829]

None. I would get a stainless Ruger Security Six.

Thanks for pointing out my utter lack of Smith model # nahlege.

You Revolver experts should make an information thread (for this site) called Wheelies for Dummies.

Good info so far. Keep it coming.

I'd do SW model 60 SS 3 inch barrel

Yeah...good luck finding one of those!

The last time I saw one it was on the hip of a leprechaun who was riding a unicorn.

When I get my inventory where I want it I'll be down to one Smith .357, a 2.5" model 66. It's the only .357 I need.

Well, to be picky, the first thing is to go back to the S&W book and get the model numbers straight, or just give choice for K or L frame, blue or stainless, and barrel length.
A blue 66 is a 19, a blue 686 is a 586, and so on.

K frames for carry and shooting lots of .38 and a little .357;
L frames for shooting lots of .357.
4" for carry, 6" or 8 3/8" barrel for hunting.

^^^This.

S&W Model 66 is one of my all time favorite guns.

Heck of a lot of fun to shoot and very accurate.

586 in 4 or 6 inch barrel, best heavy duty 357 make and blue is just sexier than stainless and not as heavy
