nah,
One of they guys at work is headed to Alaska for fishing, and I offered to loan him my 686+. The "experts" here in WA state told him he "needed" to buy a 44 mag or bigger.
Just did a search after PMing Phil for his choice of handguns, and found this.
Thought it was time to kick the can again....
686 would be a good choice with a heavy cast boolit.
