S&W 686 Talo

[Mikefln]

I am interested in a 686 Talo (I really like the way the grip looks) and I would like to know if there is any difference between a regular 686 and the Talo other then the grip. Does the Talo have a smoother trigger or better material or something. Or are the grips the only difference that the Talo company ordered? Thank you

I don't know if there is any special action work done. None that I have heard about.

The unfluted cylinder is unique also. Not sure if 5" barrels are available on standard models, but I don't think they are particularly common if they are.

what is the benifit of the unfluted cylinder?
