  • Great review here and on your site!

    I also like heavy 180 grain loads in a .357, but the muzzle flip with the heavier loads makes my 42-ounce 4” full-underlug Colt shoot much higher, so I have to lower the rear sight all the way down. (This was a new phenomenon for me being a rifle guy and thinking heavier bullets would shoot lower.) I’ve been thinking about this mountain gun or a 686 3”, but with the lighter weight doesn’t it print super high with heavy loads?

    Any thoughts on a 686+ in 3”?

  • I really like a 3 inch 357 for carry. It rides very well, but still has plenty of barrel. Don't worry about the sights. The factory takes that into account, and puts a higher front sight on the shorter, lighter guns.

  • @Gunblastdotcom Any opinions on the 45long colt Mountain gun? model 625 I think? I found one locally for $699

  • I love them - the 45 Colt is very well suited for the Mountain Gun concept. There are articles in our ARCHIVE section (no videos) os the Model 25 and 625 Mountain Guns.

  • @Gunblastdotcom I handled the 625 Mountain gun today. Has great balance and a nice feel. Im interested also in the Lipsey's exclusive Ruger flat top convertable .45. Just gotta find one!

  • Lipseys has them now - my brother Boge just picked up an extra one. Contact Lipseys if you don't have a Lipseys-affiliated dealer in your area and they'll find you a dealer.

  • hey Jeff, I just wanted to tell you that you have the earths most awesome beard :D

  • Not too heavy for me. A steel-framed 1911 weighs more, and an alloy-frame 1911 weighs as much. Both are good carry guns.

  • @Gunblastdotcom Im on a list and Lipseys is going to contact my dealer in SUnnyvale texas when they get some more in.

  • That looks just like mine. I love my S&W .357 Mag its a great gun. I just need to get a Colt Python in my collection next. To me a gun collection is not compette without a Colt.

  • @TheFirearmEnthusiast Didn't say that. Merely said that I like the full under lug.

  • @frankgon4 So you think they shouldn't make a S&W 686 with a half underlug option for people that hate the full underlug?

  • @TheFirearmEnthusiast  I like the underlug.

  • They should make the 686 without the damn full underlug!
