Thumbs up New S&W 686 Plus Range Report
Nice Day Today, so I shot the New 686 vs the Old Dan Wesson, both 6 inch barrels. Targets shot @ 20 yards. I'm calling it a tie!

Sweet! Did you feel any difference in recoil between the two?
Do they feel any different SA vs DA?
Whose heavier?

Just a few observational questions...

Good Question! Yes, The Dan Wesson 15-2 was smoother in both single & double action. Recoil was the same on both. Not saying The S&W was not pretty smooth, but the double action on it was heavy! The Dan Wesson was much easier to shoot in double action! Unless you've shot a 15-2 Dan Wesson, you would not know how smooth a revolver can be!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

The Original DWs Pistolo Pacs from the 1970's were meant for Shooting Competition. I have two of them.
