I watched a video today about a S&W 686 3-5-7 Magnum, I assume an N frame, since it has a 7 round capacity of 357 magnum, with a 3 inch barrel. It made me think this would be like having one gun to do the job of both my Model 19 with a 4 inch barrel and my model 640 with a 2 inch barrel. The S&W website shows it as almost $859.00 for this model. I wonder what real world pricing is and how hard it would be to find. I also wondered how hard it would be to use this gun for concealed carry, being such a large heavy frame.
