    .44 Magnum Snubbie - Advice needed

    I have a 3 inch 29-4 which is unfluted with a round butt, and a 3 inch 29-10 with a square butt. They are both great guns which I shoot often and carry occasionally. The gun with the round butt is more pleasant to shoot and easier to conceal. You really should have a few 3" N frames.

    .44 Mag Snub

    I have a 29-4 and a 29-10. Both are three inchers that I carry and shoot regularly. The 29-4 is engraved with gold bands on the cylinder and barrel - the perfect BBQ gun in the perfect caliber.

    Holster for 7 shot 686

    I carry mine in Don Hume and El Paso Saddlery leather. Both are good, the Don Hume holster is lighter, less expensive and less sturdy, but good nonetheless.

    SW 686 versus COLT Python?

I also have a 4" Python and a 4" 586. The Colt has the better trigger and is more accurate. That being said, the model 27s are by...
