686 grips

[youngapprentice]

Hello,new to forum. I am setting up a 686 for deer hunting.I would like opinions on grips.I am looking at Hogue pistol grips or Pachmayr grips. Which would reduce recoil best? Also for range fun are they compatible with speedloaders? If compatible what brand speedloader will work best?
Thanks for your help.

I have a 4" Model 66 and use the Pachmeyers that cover the backstrap. This tames the full bore .357 and the HKS brand speedloader works best for me, but I'm not sure which model number will fit yours.

Either grips will work as long as it has back strap coverage. Also you might want to look into Tuffs speed strips. Alot cheaper than speedloaders and will work great. Midway USA has them for cheap.
