Hello From NY - First time revolver owner
Hi All,
just bought a new model 686 4" and picking it up tomorrow.
I decided on this after going back and forth between this and the .44 but decided this was a better all around choice for me.
A friend actually had one so I was able to try it before I bought it.
The only other handgun I own is a Springfield MC operator 1911 which I have had for 7 or 8 years and I love.
I'm surprised it took me this long to get my second.
As I'm new to revolvers I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the +P and 357 magnum ammo that I could use at the range.
I look forward to learning as much as I can here and thanks in advance for any advice and info!
John

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.
Enjoy your new revolver. I got the same one for my first handgun, and I still love it.
As for range ammo, I simplify by using the same 158gr FMJ .38SP and 158gr FMJ .357 for all my needs in those calibers.
