My Dad has a 686 and he has really enjoyed it.

Beware of the man with one gun, for he knows how to use it.

Just because I don’t want an XP doesn’t mean they are not fine firearms. It just means I have groan accustom to something else. People have given me a hard time for shooting a singles shoot, but I have become efficient enough to shoot two hogs out of one pack with it. That is more like revolver shooting than it is single shot shooting. But it is really EASY IF YOU PRACTICE!

As for a slower draw? From what I have been told, she just kneads to learn her distances. Figure out what her minimal distance is and hold her ground if she is ever unfortunate enough to be put in that position!
