So I'm new to the S&W lifestyle...previous Ruger die-hard (not sure why, however).
Anyhow, I'm looking to add a S&W for home protection (also some carry in the wintertime).
Considering a used Police trade in Model 10 in .38Spl, and also a new 686 in .357Mag.
Have many other .38s and .357s, so caliber isn't really the issue...wondering between the 2 which you would buy. The Model 10 is $400 and the new 686 is about $680. I can do a lot with the $280 difference between them, but looking for other thoughts and opinions.
I admit this post is somewhat vague, probably because it's late, but I wanna make the purchase tomorrow and don't know yet what my decision is - hoping for your help!
Thanks much.
Andy
