I would buy the deluxe - nothing about the PC version appeals to me. Frankly, I wouldn't buy the PC at any price. No idea which would hold its value better. Don't like the grips of either one but a nice set of Culina's will solve that problem.
I am an OLD style revolver guy. (I am old too) When I was at the gun show a few years back, HAD to HAVE something out of my normal realm when I saw it there. Pro Series 686-6, 5". Have been tickled with it in every way! Bob
