I snagged an SSR when they first came out, which, at that time,
had the forged hammer & trigger.

I did like the way it balanced, which was more like a 3" 686 than a 4-incher.

After I got a 4" M66-2 the SSR didn't see much use since I tended to fall
back on my regular 4" 686 (no dash) for .357 Mag range time and the M66 for
.38 shootin'. The reason I chose to use my standard 686 over the SSR was because
it has been worked by Pistolsmith, Teddy Jacobson and the trigger is sweet.

I have since sold the SSR, and the M66 for that matter. Now, for .38 spl
shootin' I rely on a 4" M64-1, which has also been worked by Teddy.......

Bottom line, in my humble opinion, if you can only have one 686 the SSR
isn't a bad choice. Like I mentioned, it balances more like a 3" 686,
or a 4" K Frame, than it does the standard 4" M686.
