Thread: Thinking of ordering a 686P 4" 7 round .357 .... "Help"!! Need some reviews on them... Is the 6" better or is the 4" equally good?

I agree with the 686 4" for a Carry Weapon, which is the one i carried for my last 14 years as a LEO. I carry the 686 2.5 inch some now as a "retired-LEO", but even that one is still somewhat heavy. Then, i have the 686-4 6 incher which you asked about. Too long a barrel to wear under a jacket or stick down in your pants with a IWB holster. Its good for Target Shooting, or if you're a hunter. A 686-4 starts the S&W's drilled/tapped revolvers, so you can put a scope/Red Dot on it. Heres a pic of my 6 incher with a Red Dot & Full Length Weaver Rail.
