I have a 686+ and I really love it. I don't like shooting anything .44mag. Something very uncomfortable about that caliber, and I don't know what it is. I've shot .454 Casull and .45 long colt and found them both much easier to control and a lot less jarring. Maybe they were heavier frames?

OK, here is a question:
How many folks used the wheel gun for work, not sport or hobby?“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I used to carry a S & W .357 as duty weapon while working alarm response in LA. After that, was a .357 snubbie as back-up to .45

All I have left of my wheel guns, I moved on to single shots and have not been interested in others yet.

It has much to do with the loading of the powder in the cartridge. The 45 long colt is a very tame round. Try a 45/70-har har. Originally Posted by joesixpack
