OP, what kind of carry are you planning for?

I usually carry a G27 and a S&W M&P Shield 2.0 9MM.
I want to add a 357 revolver into the rotation.
Recently, I spent some time investigating the new 66 and I'm still not sold on the end of the extractor not locking into place under the barrel. In addition, the barrel is 2 piece. This is pushing me to the 686 unless I can find a pre lock 66 or that I can be convinced of the reliability of the new 66.
