Looking for a 357. Would have a 6" barrel. I have always been partial to S&W & would want a 686 or 27. Would look for an older one (firing pin in hammer) so for a 686 a -4 & not sure on a 27. Did they ever make a 'older' 627 if not would stick w/ a blued 27. If cannot find an older one for a reasonable price, would consider a Redhawk.

Would use the gun for field plinking (try to imitate Hickok45). Would shoot stout loads but nothing crazy. With that being said, opinions on the 627, 686 & Redhawk please!
