The more I shoot the 986 the better I like it. This L frame has become a favorite. The trigger is super smooth in double action, sights are easy to see although I think I may go to a gold bead or maybe a green insert (older eyes). It is very accurate and fast to recover when shooting double taps. Smith definitely has a winner with this revolver. The ammo doesn't seem to matter, it likes 115, 124 and 147 grain bullets.
