varminter22 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Posted in wrong forum. Where does one post questions about specific revolvers/equipment? Edited March 15, 2021 by varminter22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radny97 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I would say the 610 is the most common nowadays. Followed by the 625. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varminter22 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 For Classic Division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchapman Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I think that the S&W 686/586 is the most common, some use the Model 66 and 19's, this is the one division that Colt and Ruger both have guns that can be used as well but there are other brands out there for less $ if you can find the supporting equipment for them , speedloaders and holsters.

radny97 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Correct. My mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerMcFadden Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I run a 66, but I’d wager 686 in 6 inch is the most popular. GP100s are certainly viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Any good L Frame 6 shot. GP100 is an LFrame size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varminter22 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 I would lean towards the 686, for sure. Would prefer a 5" barrel (as is my 625 and 627) but, alas, S&W makes only 4" and 6". I suppose one of those would work. Probably costly to have a 6" cut down to 5". Speedloaders? I suspect the Safariland Comp III rules. But Jetloaders?

mchapman Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I think the modified comp lll are what you will find, The jeloaders are hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varminter22 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 And finally, does the .38 Short Colt work okay in the Safariland Comp III (stock and/or modified)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the 38 Short Colt is too short for the Safariland Comp IIIs. I've tried it even in my cut down ones. You may be able to get away with 38 Long though.

I actually prefer 357 magnum cases for unmodified Comp III's. 38 Short Colts in a Speed Loader are short enough to barely reach the cylinder holes.

varminter22 Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Thanks, guys. I may talk myself out of getting into the M686/Classic Div business. I have a good supply of Starline .38 Short Colt brass, but believe it or not I haven't owned a piece of .38 Spec or .357 brass in many years. And I do love my M627 and M625. Even though it's not optimum, I can always shoot my M24-3 Lew Horton .44 Spec in Classic Div when the notion strikes me. With its 3" barrel, it's far from optimum and I don't get along well with the Safariland Comp II speedloaders, but it is fun shootin' revolver. Thanks again.
