I'm planning to purchase a new S&W 586 or 686. I like the idea of having the longer sight radius of the 6" model, but also appreciate the more handy size of the 4". My current concealed carry revolvers are a S&W 351C for when I dress light (most of the time) and a Kimber K6S DCR in 357 Magnum for the rare times when the size and weight are less of an issue. I don't plan to EDC the 586, but do like keeping the option open should extreme societal circumstances ever arise. The realistic uses for either length 586 are home protection, range shooting, and just admiring. I went to my LGS and was able to handle both. I must say that I was impressed with the sight radius of the 6" model. In spite of the length, it felt pretty natural, and I had no problem sighting-in quickly and holding it steady. I like them both, but for very different reasons. Any thoughts? Thanks!
