I love my 2-3/4 blue speed-six! I do prefer the 2-3/4 over the 3 speed-six and I also like the 2-1/2 s&w combat magnums better than those 3 ones too....I know the 3 guns are more rare in both makes but theyve never rung my bell with interest because of their scarcity (whoopee an extra 1/4) although I can sure see why some folks like them...we all have or likes and needs! Make mine a 2-3/4 speedy!
