M60-15; its called the Trail Masterpiece for a reason. Its just as hard hitting as a 3 inch 686, with the same ammo. You do give up 1 or 2 rounds, but not power. I carried a 6 inch 686 one time hiking in the Cascade Mountains. A lot of up and down. Just once! The M60 will do what I need it to. Holster is a Lobo Gunleather Original Pancake. I like Buffalo Bore 38 Spl Outdoors load. They make a 180 gr hard cast load, if required.

Best,
Rick
