Smith, I was looking for info on the original... I'll head to the correct section. Thanks.

Does anyone own a S&W Registered Magnum? If so, can you tell me a bit about it and maybe post a pic or two? I just read a few bits on them and had no idea that they existed.

If the deal falls through I would be interested in the full size. Steve in Wisconsin.

I'm interested in an M&P Pro for IDPA but I haven't played with one or talked with anyone that has one..... So, does anyone have one? If so, what can you tell me about it?

I've been thinking about this post for most of the weekend and I"m starting to think that you may be right. I want something fun to shoot but I don't want to pay through the nose for ammo. The 617 might be a good way to go. I'll have to take a look. Thanks for the tip.

Silly question, but what model is that?

Impressive... this thread is almost 2 years old.

Thanks everyone, Here is a follow up question; I want the gun for targets / paper / plates / etc. It will NOT be used for CCW / home defense etc. That being said, is the 686 the best choice in the 38 / 357 catagory or should I be looking at a different model? The gun I'm looking at sports a 6"...

That is exactly what I want, where do you find one?

I was looking at a 686P 3", 7 shot, round butt revolver last night..... it looks pretty sweet.

True, but there could be a time when I want to shoot .357's......

Not sure if it's a "-" model but it currently sports a 6" barrel but it includes the 4" barrel it was built with. I think I would have the 4" barrel put back on and sell off the 6" barrel. It might be fun to ship it back to S&W and have them trick it out when they put the 4" barrel back on.

I have a 629-1, which I love, but I would like to pick up something in the .357 class so I can shoot .38's and save some money (and shoot more often) and I found a nice deal on a clean, used 686. Is there some reason I shouldn't do it? Is there another model which would be a better way to go?
