I'll add to your wish list a 617 with the same 8 3/8" barrel used on 17s prior to full lug barrels.

Yeah, that guy was a real "Rocket Surgeon".
I have a 686 with an 8-3/8" barrel and it's just a tad heavy but it sure does shoot!
Sign me up for a Model 620 with an 8-3/8! I think that's be a fantastic shooter.
Here's another suggestion for S&W with the 2 piece barrels. They should buy a Dan Wesson, study how simple and easy the user interchangable barrel system is, then duplicate it!
