I have a 686 with the four position front sight. I do have some .357 mag brass but do almost all of my shooting with .38 special cases. (I should mention that in this country pistols can only be used for recreational target shooting).

I used to load my target rounds to +P levels to simulate my duty load before we changed to the Glock 9mm and just kept on doing so. It was only due to economics that I switched to "target" level loads.
