Id have to go with the Python or a Redhawk, both are very good shootes. Of course the smith's a very classic looking and very good shooters themselves.

Post a pic of what you get!

If you're talking about doing some regular shooting, I would recommend the Model 27. I have a few Pythons and honestly I think they are smoother than the Smiths, but I'm just too afraid to get mine scratched up so they just help hold down the safe. But if you're talking about getting some shooting enjoyment of the gun, definitely go with the Smith.

Thanks for the post, Dave. Have been thinking very same thing. Sold a 4" Python about 6 Months ago and have had sellers remorse ever since. Was like handling a Ferrarri but I just kept in in the safe for 12 years. Sold it for $2,300 more than I paid for it but I'm over safe queens. At my age I want to enjoy shooting them.

Sold a 686 10 years ago and miss it too. So I'm asking same question. Forgetting Pythons, what's the best 4" revolver out there. Thinking 357 but wondering about the 45 ACP Smith is making. Any opinions?

Sorry if I stole your thread.

Jim

My personal favorite is the 686 6inch .357.

I know this may make me sound like a heretic but my favorite 'wheel' gun is a Ruger Bisley in 45 Colt.DSCF5431.jpg
