Here lately my taste has turned to shorter barreled revolvers so when the chance came up to swap my 6" for a 4" I made the trade. Took her out for a test run today, very pleased with the results.

That?s outstanding groups from a 4? barrel.

Did you test the velocity difference?

My 686 (see bragging board Photo) has 4 inch also - shoots 180 hard cast really well. I never got jacketed to shoot that well especially 158 grainers. I sold my razor and got a Matchdot II - just fits me better. Great groups from yours. Care to share some load data? I plan to take a WT with mine this year.
First Handgun Deer: ~1982 8" S&W .38Spl SW 7.5" 686-7 with Matchdot II SBHH .45LC 7.5" Contender G2 .35-30/30 (Bellm), .22LR, .22 Hornet, 25-35 Glock 40 10mm; G21 Poly80 w/ 9 inch barrel (in work)
