Let us not forget that the adjustable sighted guns came first. I was never a fan of the fixed sighted L frames, but they have duly earned their place in Smith & Wesson history. For me, almost as good as The Distinguished Combat Magnum, a very close second. As I've said in previous posts, I much prefer the .357 in an L frame than a .357 in the in N frame. I really like my Model 28 but I tend to favor my 686 a tad more! Nice looking guns guys!!
