686 w/ 6" barrel. It was my first gun ever. It's scary accurate, durable, and has a unbelievable trigger. Almost everyone who tries it thinks I have had a trigger job done to it but I have not. I'm a big guy with big hands so the slightly front heavy feel of the full underlug is not a problem and really helps with recoil especially with the full power 125 gr. JHP's. For a while this was my only gun and I used it for target shooting, hunting, plinking as well for home protection. I bought this gun 18 yrs at a gun show brand new. Eventhough I have shot it helluva lot it's still as tight and accurate as the day I bought it.It is semi-retired and is currently my safe queen. As you can imagine it also has a great deal of sentimental value.

My round butt Model 13. Fixed sight, three inch non shrouded barrel with full length ejector rod, hand filling round butt, what's not to like? Shoots everything from .38 target loads to full house .357's and everything in between. Simply put, the most all-business revolver S&W has ever made.

I own a 4" M686-2 but would love to own a M27.

Well, I like all of them, modern or older. But..... I'll vote for the shorter 3 1/2" 8 shot M27 from Lew Horton.
With good grips, and moonclips from Ranch Products, it shoots great. Absolutely great. Uses the same holster and cleaning supplies as the 4" N frames. Handles well. Well made. Feels comforting. Teams up well with the J frame (or D frame) of your choice. A great Smith .357 wheelgun. And it was on sale!
It is making me look hard at the "standard" 627 Pro.

I agree 100%, Its the one gun that I will never get ride of.
when things where down and i had to sell all my guns, the only one I kept was my 686 6" and rigged up a carry rig so i could carry it concealed till I finally got a smaller gun to carry.
you just don't get rid of a gun that is that accurate.

My 66 3 inch with sights. It just feels right, super accurate even with the short barrel and it just looks cool as hell! Next in line would be the Pre 27 3 1/2 inch, same reason as above plus the old craftsman build quality, fit and finish.

Stainless would be the 66 hands down. Blued would be the 19. Both in 4" bbl's and P&R. My .02 pesos.

5" Pre-27 with Sanbar stag grips, best looking/best shooting period.
