My first 2 guns 30 years ago were a 6" Model 14 and a 6" Model 17. When my wife and I split she kept those and I kept the 7 1/4" Hi Standard Trophy Citation and the Model 52-2. A couple of years later I bought a 6" 617 and a 6" 686, which I still have. The 686 has the best trigger that I have ever felt on a revolver. I load 3.5 gr of Bullseye behind a 158 gr SWC in a 357 case for the 686 as well as the 148 gr DEWC in 38 Spl cases. I have recently begun thinking that I need to find an old Model 14 again. IMO you can't go wrong with either for Bullseye, but the 686 might prove to be a bit more versatile if you have any thoughts about any other kind of shooting in the future.
