I use the word “combat handgun” very lightly. But I’ve been shooting semi auto pistols for “combat or tactical” use for 3 years, whenever I was first eligible to carry a pistol. I’ve owned and shot several revolvers of different types and calibers during that time. However now I’d like to get a revolver I can carry but still use effectively for “combat”.
I’m not looking for a hammerless, trenched sights J Frame. But I don’t want a 4” monster 686 plus either. I want something I can carry concealed but still use effectively at 30 ish feet. I’d like to work on reloads and use it in some pistol competitions I normally participate in until I feel like I’ve become proficient with it all the way around.
Do any of you guys have experience with something like this? Suggestions? I feel like a 6 shot is a must. And need decent sights. I have considered a Model 19 2.75” or maybe a Model 66 2.75” Smith & Wesson. But I’m open to ideas.
What say you old revolver farts?
