I really like my S&W 686. It's inexpensive to shoot. It's works really well, and I have fun shooting it. I can use it for everything. When I was looking for a revolver to buy it was only $400 and I don't have alot of money to spend on guns. It does meet all the requirements to shoot USPSA. However, knowing what I know now I would of saved my money and bought a S&W 625, because I realize that I'm not going to be competative with the S&W 686. I would of had to wait to buy it but I wouldn't be here wishing I had. Make sure it's what you want.
