I have a 627 PC 4" and a 686 Talo 5".
I like both a lot, if I had to keep only one, I think I'd settle on the 627, but that's a tough call.

Sorry my friend ...... You're talking about two legendary guns that are both well thought of; that stirring this pot just to see what you scrape off the bottom of the pot seems below anyone that loves the 38/347 family of wheel guns. BUT ..... if ya stir up anything be sure to get pics and video.

LOL! The flutes on those 7&8-shot cylinders do look pretty weird!

BTW: someone earlier claimed the ".357 started it all" (N frames)
The first N-frame was the Triple Lock, introduced 27-years prior to the .357.

I usually don't venture into anything larger than 38/357 caliber, so the L-frame is my favorite/maximum frame size. Sure wish I had a 696.

I love my 686SSR but I really want to delve into the 327/627 family of wheelies in the near future.

But for CCW, neither the 627 or the 686 would be my first choice. I'd rather have the 2.5" K-Frame Model 19 or Model 66.
If you've got a dozen 686's, I've got a dime for you. As many dimes as you can fulfill orders for.

I replaced my front sight with an XS BIG DOT, the rear I left adjustable, but replaced w/ TRU GLO inserts. Pretty easy switch, I have 3 dot night sight set up. I cannot provide a picture as it's my duty weapon and I leave it work in my locker
