Most likely going to be getting an S&w 686 and am leaning toward the 6 inch model. Mainly because i think it looks better than the 4" and the like the idea of the longer barrel for accuracy/velocity reasons. I would be using this for home defense as well. I would be OPEN carrying, since im not 21 yet and i cant get my Concealed carry license. Obviously it wouldnt be ideal to conceal carry a 6 inch revolver, but do you think it is suitable for open carry on a waistband belt holster? Does anyone have experience carrying a 6" or is it just absurd to even consider it? Thanks for the input guys!
