I had a 686 6" for a while and it was a beautifully put together piece, felt great in my big hands with the target grips, and the sights were terrific on it. However, no matter what I did it wouldn't shoot worth a darn. It always shot low left at least 6" at 25 yards with whatever ammo I loaded in it. I let my buddies try it, including one buddy who was a police shooting instructor and none of them could do any better with it so it went down the road. If it has shot as well as it looked it would still be in the safe... haven't had a chance to try the GP100s yet, but hopefully someone at the new gun club I'm joining will have one at the range one day so I can actually get a feel for it. I wouldn't be opposed to trying another 586/686 if I could find one that shot better...
