Yea, you're screwed. :) A lot of us have been there. Just start buying and trying...it's the only way you are going to figure it out. After spending a good deal of dough and a number of years things will get clearer. Been there / done that and I'm still not sure if I would get a 38 or 357...
The 38 will be more consistently accurate compared to the 357 shooting 38 loads. This is my experience testing loads at 50 yards. A model 15 is great advice. 38 special is a wonderful and very, very accurate caliber.
I have only owned S&W revolvers. I would like to try a Ruger. I hear the security six can be worked over and have a better trigger than S&W.
If you plan on shooting it then be sure to figure in a trigger job. That helps me a lot with DA accuracy.
Speaking of accuracy...
All these...
I shoot a lot and after a few thousand rounds my 7 shot and 8 shots S&W went out of timing. I heard from a reputable smith that the notches in the cylinder are not as deep as in the 6 shot versions. Im still happy with them but would consider a 6 shot for a high round range gun.
Sweet. I should go ahead and sell my S&W 686. It just doesn't work for me...the balance or something. I have tried to like it and put a killer trigger job on it by Clark Custom, put new sights on it and changed the grips.
I think I paid $300 and something back in the day. Probably put...
What's wrong with me?
I have about 4 guns I wanted to sell that I never shoot, don't need, and would not miss that much.
- West German Sig 226 (my first center fire purchased when I was 21)
- S&W 686
- CZ Trainer .22 rifle
- Ruger 22/45 with full Clark conversion.
I would have...
Hey,
Thanks for the replies. All good...especially the home made solution.
I think I'll get the electronic version...lots of good reviews on it.
Thanks a lot,

Thanks for the info guys. I understand the trigger issue and appreciate the education.
It does get cold in some places in Hawaii but I don't seek out those areas. I'd rather be at sea level...
Thanks for the info guys.
How does the sporter style barrel do at the range. Can you get some practice in without it heating up too fast?
Interesting on the weight of the trigger.
Are good replacement triggers available for the Model 70? Maybe I should be looking at a different gun...
Hi,
The new Model 70 Supergrade is one that keeps calling me.
I read that the trigger is user adjustable down to 3 pounds. Can it be adjusted lower than that by a gunsmith?
Is the barrel on the Supergrade thicker than Featherweight?
Thanks a lot,
Dave
