I like S&W Wheelguns. Purchased three new over the past 14 months. A Model 686, 7 shot, 6" barrel .357; a Model 351 PD, .22 mag; and a Model 63, 8 shot, .22 LR, j-frame with a 5" barrel. The latter two are my wife's. All see frequent use at the range. Never had any problems. The 686 is very accurate and minimum recoil with .38 rounds. My wife picked up rosewood grips for her Model 63. A very pretty gun (which she likes), she can also shoot pretty good groups with it.
