New member from west Missouri
I have been following the forum for a few months and decided to join. My wife had been hounding me to purchase a gun for the last several months and I finally gave in mid December and purchased a 686 with a 4 inch barrel. This is going to become another expensive hobby, I am already looking at what to get next and a new range is just a couple miles away. The main reason I gave in is that about 5 years from now I get to retire again and I plan on doing some cycling in the desert southwest and possibly into the pacific northwest (mostly national parks). I would like to have the option for defense against four legged predators .

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.
4" 686 Plus was my first handgun, and unnaturally accurate for me.

Welcome from a Missouri lad that retired to Kansas.
Two legged things might be more dangerous than 4 legged ones. I bought a 686 in 4" last year. I do like it.
