They are IMHO, the perfect civilian self defense guns.

With that being said, if I knew I was walking into a gun battle, I'd take the Beretta 92, but for self defense, whoever's on the receiving end of that 686 is going to have a very bad day.
Agree with everything you said. My 649 J-frame .357 carries in the pocket better than smaller autos.

The M9 with a 20 round MecGar magazine is a formidable tool for a real wild-west shootout scenario.

For home or self defense of the typical type, there's something just perfect about a 4-6 inch .357 magnum loaded with the 125 gr. full throttle magnums.
