    586 v 686

    586 and 686 revolvers are both L frames. My Talo 686 plus 7" barrel round butt shoots most wonderful. I need to change the round butt grip to square butt conversion Ahrends grips. Square butt grips are "fastback" style. More support to the hand. My hand gets more tiresome with a round frame...

    Ahrends grip advice

    I am really tired of ammunition shortages...

    I won't buy 22lr or 22magnum firearms any more. I am buying new 686 plus , 586 , and model 27 revolvers only. For what they charge for ammo these days , I want ammo with a little "ump" to it.
