The 686 and 65 are 4in barrels. 6 in seems to long for carry and smaller seems to waste the 357 potential.

Im not sure if i was explaining it right about the sights but the 2 versions ive seen greatly very. One is like the top of the revolver had a U channel machined into it. This is what i dont like. Rather i keep trying to find the sight and then "Duh its the notch". The other type is basically the same as on a semi auto. Its easier to spot and align them.

I was actually looking at the Ruger as well but im coming from semi autos where high double digit ammo capacity is the norm and here the Ruger only has 5 where a standard revolver has 6 and the 686 holds 7
