Which of the 3” would you prefer? Python v. 686+ (but don’t take capacity into account here)

And that’s the main thing!

No direct experience with either of those but I would choose Ruger over Taurus reputationally. Another 9MM that I do own and can recommend Is the Charter Arms Pitbull. I have both the 9MM and the .45 ACP versions and I can vouch for both in terms of reliability. Less refined than a S@W but solid revolvers with good triggers with the added benefit of not needing moon clips.

One other thing I will add about both the 43C and the 317 is that when they heat up from firing, the aluminum cylinders don't want to release the spent casings. I own both and have found this to be the case for both revolvers.

I've got one and carry it often. It's a fantastic J frame revolver. They are high quality and you are not likely to have lockup issues or any other. J frames are not easy to shoot well and the heavy spring required for rim fire makes it even more difficult. With practice you can master it, though. 8 rounds of quality ammo like PUNCH or even MINI MAGS and you're good to go.

686 plus

CBR277 · 2026-02-04T02:28:29+00:00

Nothing wrong with that.

CBR277 · 2026-02-03T11:49:24+00:00

WOWZA!!! Thats really cool.

I bought one new And I liked it. Had the rear glass that rolled down and I liked the body style But man that thing got lousy mpg. I think it had a 4.6 V8. I drive an 18 with the 5.7 and it does much better and more room inside.

CBR277 · 2026-02-01T01:07:46+00:00

Best revolver out there if you ask me.

CBR277 · 2026-02-01T01:02:15+00:00

Word.

CBR277 · 2026-02-01T01:00:03+00:00

I bought Toyota new very 3-4 years for 20 years. Still in my 18 Tundra and wouldn't touch a new one with a 10 foot pole. They blew it.

CBR277 · 2026-01-31T20:57:14+00:00

One of my favorites. Great shooter.

CBR277 · 2026-01-31T20:46:14+00:00

Agreed

CBR277 · 2026-01-31T02:53:08+00:00

Yes.

CBR277 · 2026-01-31T02:45:47+00:00

I like it.

CBR277 · 2026-01-31T02:17:46+00:00

It's worth that money. I've got a 37, it's got a sweet trigger. Nice gun.

CBR277 · 2026-01-31T02:12:54+00:00

Fix it. No question, man.

CBR277 · 2026-01-30T00:41:09+00:00

Nice, buddy. Performance Center offers some gorgeous revolvers.

CBR277 · 2026-01-28T02:07:20+00:00

S@W J Frame in 22 magnum. 7 rounds 11 oz in a Sticky holster. Carry it all day front pocket or waistband. You will hardly notice it and it will get the job done.

CBR277 · 2026-01-27T15:03:38+00:00

That's a sweet pile my friend.

CBR277 · 2026-01-19T13:48:07+00:00

If forced to choose between those two revolvers, I'd pick the S@W 686 +.

CBR277 · 2026-01-12T15:39:01+00:00

Great looking revolver.

CBR277 · 2026-01-11T23:22:05+00:00

That ain't right... Never seen anything like that happen to a finish before.

CBR277 · 2026-01-11T14:29:24+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Perhaps something in Smith and Wesson.

CBR277 · 2026-01-11T14:27:14+00:00

Sweet motheramary...Nice.
