Which S&W .357 revolver would you choose?

686 + three inch seven shot pretty hard to find one but thats my vote

This, though I prefer the blued 586. I came in here specifically to post a 3" 7 shot but you beat me to it!

I've become very fond of the round butt 65 3 inch .... fixed sights carry better on a K frame... and I really like the heavy barreled SW's...

blued 586 with 6" barrel.

4 inch, pre lock 686 for the win.

This!! You'd be hard pressed to find better!!

TALO 686 Plus 3 inch bbl for carry and woods gun

Whichever you like, but in stainless only.

4" barreled round butt model 65. You get fixed sights, stainless steel, easy carry (as far as revolvers go), and good looks.

I've found that sub 3" barrels on K-frame sized guns makes them feel butt heavy when carried... like they want to jump out of your pants. A 4" barrel solves this. The round butt relieves the hardest to conceal part of any gun: the heel end of the butt.

If this is going to be carried infrequently, and shot on the range for the most part, get the 66 with 4" and round butt (if they make them). Same as the 65 just adjustable sights.

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.

I got this model 60 about 3 months ago. It wasn't to hard to find.

I think you are looking for a 686 4". If you want something really special, pick up an old 27 with a 3.5" barrel. Beautiful, almost too beautiful carry. That being said, my next one is the 627 Performance Center 2 5/8" barrel. Hi-Jack is over.
