Great thoughts all. Thank you.

What wood are the grips for the 66? Both are fine looking revolvers.

I’ve never really carried much in a holster other than a pocket holster. That doesn’t really work for a larger gun. I’ve just acquired a 686 3”. I want something comfortable for field carry - definitely OWB. If it works great concealer that’s a plus. Comfort is the key. What should I...

How well does the 317 shoot vs another airweight? Great guns, but it’s hard to shoot something that light well.

Just an FYI - my 342 says jacketed bullets only.

Great advice all. I’ve got a 3” 686+ in bound. Look forward to breaking it in. Now to figure out which grips I like!

Thanks for the thoughts. My grandfather had a 6” 617, which I found muzzle heavy way back when. To one posters point, I do want to carry this gun. More in the woods than for a CCW / personal protection. I’ve got a 342 that just disappears for true CCW. Easier to shoot or easier to carry...

First, this forum was helpful in the decision on a 22 revolver, and I’m picking up a 4” 617 tomorrow. Thank you! I’m looking to add a modern 357 to the mix as a reshuffle my collection. I’m trying to decide between a 2.75” 66 or a 3” 686. I like the appearance of the 686 more, but it’s a...

Do these revolvers have full length ejector rods due to the ball detent lockup like the new 66? Just curious. For clarity: SKU: 170346 SKU: 170133 Thanks, QD

They are also very nice. I pulled up his gallery of grips. Very impressive. Sold Grips - Culina Grips

Thank you. I came across his name just the other day. Looks great!

What make and wood are the grips on the stainless one? They look awesome.

Old Chief, Who made those awesome grips? Great looking gun. —QD

I want to learn to shoot my 342 PD. Unfortunately, it says no cast bullets on the guns. What powders should I consider for 125-130gr jacketed loads? Especially, good loads for training. It looks like W231 would be very good. Thanks, QD

I don’t have a no lock, so the thought of an M18 is interesting.

If only USFA was still around. I’m a double action guy, but those were nice guns! Great thoughts by all and lots to consider. I always struggle with new pinned in (i.e. replaceable) sights vs. older no-locks.

These are all great responses and food for thought. Please keep them coming. One of the things I love about this board is the great photographers! For disclosure, I have been bitten the the bug and have a 342, 625 (4”), and 629 (5”). I also have 41 that’s almost a laser gun.

I want a 22 revolver to add to my collection. It will mostly see range use, but would be nice to carry in the woods. I used to have a light Taurus revolver. I couldn’t shoot it well and didn’t think it was nice. I think it was about the same form factor and weight as a S&W317. I’m trying to...

I’m going to do some swapping of the gun portfolio around to swap out some safe queens for guns that should see more use. First up is a S&W 342PD. It’s a great gun. I shot it 100 times or less. I’m asking $600 plus $50 to cover shipping if required. I’m in NC. Next up is a Stag 3G...

1 - Taurus 22 revolver: horrible tigger, action felt awful, never accurate 2 - SKS with AK mag - junk 3 - Ruger LCP - not fun to shoot; doesn't feel nice (is easy to carry) 4 - English SxS 12 - very small - uncomfortable vs my Citori There are probably a few others. Not spending enough to...
