Nah. It's my new S&W 686 in .357 MAG with a 4" barrel. Those are
snapcaps in the chambers.

I'll have to stick with the N frame, thank you.


N frame .357s are nice, but too heavy. Now, for a larger caliber, maybe
not.


Too heavy for what? Concealed carry?


Open carry out in the woods in a holster. About 10 ounces heavier than a
686, which is also fairly heavy. I would have gone for a 686 with a 3"
barrel, but the one that came up I was offered has the 4" barrel. Still,
it is lighter than the Ruger GP100 I had and sold.


How many miles do you walk in the woods with a pistol in a holster? I can't imagine
ten ounces making a difference unless you're putting in about 40 miles a day.
