Yes Sir,
I am ex-airborne infantry, and carried 60+ pounds of gear on my body in Iraq summers while under great duress from the enemy! A little ol' stainless revolver is not a problem, but I am wondering about the durability/shootability of the 66 vs 686.
Excellent advice and opinions from all you guys....
