Here is my new S&W 686 that I picked up Friday. I went with the 6" barrel based on recommendations from the board. My wife saw it and her first comment was why I needed such a big gun! I think I finally got her to understand that just because it is physically the largest handgun I have, it is not necessarily the most powerful (though it is when shooting the .357 mags out of it) that I have. I measured it against my full size 1911 and the S&W is about 2" longer. One of the pictures I put a regular 2 D-cell Maglite next to it for a comparison. I will definitely not be carrying this as a CCW weapon! Hope to take it out in the next couple of weeks to see how she shoots. Maybe we can even get a little competition going! Anyway, here are the pictures.
Here with the Maglite.
