I wouild like to invite you to watch a IDPA match sometime. It's very educational. The techniques you can learn from watching an IDPA match could cost you hundreds of dollars if you went to a class.
The 686 is great but it's being overshadowed by the 625. A .45 auto chambered revolver with full moon clips for faster reloads. I'll stay with the 686. I'll post the picture of it sometime next week with the new grips.
Not be entirely off topic, I'l work for Duncan Hunter instead of a RINO.
I'm for Duncan Hunter as well. Looking forward to seeing a picture of your 686.
