Just got back from the range shooting my new Talo 3" 686. I'm in love. Started out with about 50 rounds of 158 grain .38 Sp., switched to +P for a like amount, then went through 50 rounds of 158 grain .357 Mags. Handled everything without so much as a hiccup, and the factory sights were almost right on, just had to raise them 2 clicks. What a sweetheart.
And the best part was as I was packing up to leave the guy in the stall next to me asked what in the world I was shooting. Said it sounded like a cannon!
