I would to think it but i am sure it's not the case that my 686 is the most accurate revolver period.I know there are many 686s out there.the first time I shot it I hit all 6 rounds on target.The first time all of my friends have fired it,5 if not the6 out of 6 hits.The S&W 686 357 magnum is definitely my most accurate revolver.6 out of 6 always.Just can't miss with it.gunnut2
