Woohoo. You get a cookie.

Smiths are stronger. Have you ever seen a 100 year old Ruger?

This is not a concern for the gun in question however. I like the hammer mounted FP better. It completes the look. Although S&W has introduced post hammer mounted FP guns that I needed to have so I've learned to accept frame mounted as well.

Most of us have a dozen or so firearms. That's not too practical either :)

Hawk, I get that with serrated triggers of the older Js. Between the heavy spring and the sharp ridges my finger gets abused after awhile. Whenever I gain an older J with the serrated trigger I take it apart and break the ridges with a fine file or a Dremel. I especially focus on the bottom...

Dry fire it everyday for about a week and see what it does for the feel. Try about a thousand clicks a day. Watch TV or sumthin.

The 581/586/681/686 series was designed with an eye towards a steady diet of 125gr maggies that the 13/19/65/66 line supposedly could not handle. So the answer to your question is: They are the same for the usage you mentioned and some variants of the 686 gives you a 7th shot. You...
