Except he needs to point the strobe light in the opposite direction. Just say'n. LOL...

I like my old six shot L-frame,. but my performance center 5" N-frame is not any heavier and holds eight shots.I believe recent N-frames and L-frames have the same grip size. At least my fairly small hands can't tell the difference. Any S&W that fits my hand and has enough weight for the load used has been a joy to me.

The 686 Plus does it for me. The 5 and 7 shot S&W cylinders have the stop notch between the chambers, not at the chambers. A little stronger I think. Might be over thinking it though. But the full lugged barrel balances better for me in 3 and 4" class. But I do like my N frames.

I can do aimed 'rapid fire' with a K frame Smith, but it's not like a machine gun. Night time hog shooting requires quick shots. I have been using Winchester Silver Tips.

I have always felt safe and fully outfitted carrying a .357 magnum in the field and in the concrete jungle.

A 4" K-frame with full house 125 gr. Magnum loads is an attention getter for me. I can shoot it pretty well but I really have to stay focused and also limit my practice sessions to no more than 100 rounds. Remington used to make a mid-range 125 gr. load that ran at 1,250 fps instead of the full house 1,450 fps velocity. I really liked that load or the 145 gr. Winchester Silvertip hollow points. Those two didn't have that obnoxious muzzle blast of the full velocity loads. You might watch those lite bullets in a k frame. If my memory serves me correctly that has been known to cause forcing cone problems. I'm talking full house loads. You need to stay with 140 plus grain bullets. Hasbeen

Yeah, that's what they say... An old cranky heart doctor once told me it's your heart handle it however you want. Same thing applies to your 66. Hasbeen
