Favorite range revolver????

[Jerryatric3]

Took the 617 and 686 (both 6 shot pre lock) to the range today. Both shot one hole groups, double action off bag, at 15 yards. Both triggers are 8 pounds double action and 3 pounds single and smooth as butter (tuned by Nelson Ford, The Gunsmith, Phoenix). Gotta love quality revolvers.....when the groups open up i know it's ME. By far my favorite shooters. What are your favorites?????

I don't doubt that they'll do 1 ragged hole with those dots on them. You have good taste in revolvers, if I might add. My favorites would be a 686+ (3") and a 617 (4").

Have a 686 in 4" and been looking for a 617 4" for over a year. Found a few but second mortgage fell through......

625s all the way. X3

5 inch 625 standing 2-hand hold at 25 yards:

I own a pre lock 6" barrel 686 I bought new back in '94 and recently added a police trade in model 10-8 4" barrel & 642 as my new carry to replace my M&P 380. I would say of the 3 revolvers the 686 is my favorite. I use it mostly to knock down bowling pins at 20 yards here at the range & to carry in the woods hiking/camping or while hunting.

6" 586-4.

My favorite is this 15-4, made in 1984. It's got some nice wear on it and has a lovely double-action trigger.

This Officer's Model Match 38 is a great paper puncher! 1964 DOB.

686

My 6" 686 no dash has the potential to turn in the best groups if I do MY job right.

 

[msauter]

686 all the way!

 

[Retired LTC USAR]

My 625-3 and 28-2.

4" 686+ rules the range for me.

 

[shocker]

63-5 would have to be my favorite. The big guns are more about the challenge of shooting them well rather than fun and relaxation.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

It would have to be my model 16-4, with a 4" barrel. It will shoot .32 H&R Magnums, but I usually use .32 S&W Long wadcutters.

The action is so sweet... the combat grips are super comfortable... and the "recoil", IF you can call it that is next-to-nothing.

It happens to be an attractive gun to boot. I always have to share it with others when at the range.

Best wishes everyone!

My 15-2. Target hammer, target trigger, trigger stop. I shoot it single-action about 95% of the time.

What are your favorites?????

Meet the "twins".....

Model 17 .22 cal.....

Currently my favorite range revolvers are my 4 and 6 inch 17-6s, 625-2 .45 Cal Model of 1988, and my 625-6 Mountain Gun, which also sees a lot of backpacking duty.

This one’s pretty easy, my 617 and 66. They get a ton of time in the back yard!

I shoot my 28's frequently, 4" and 6". Lot of range time.

Range time for me is a bay with steel plates and a Texas star. My 627 pro with a pile of moon clips never misses a trip.
