They also make the 627, which is an 8-shot 38/357 revolver.
My wife and I each have a 686+ (7 shot) with 4" barrel. We have put many thousands of rounds through them. Clearly our favorites. A few years back, I purchased the fancier 8-shot 627 for my wife for Mother's Day. It is still NIB. Not that she would not love to take it out. Our move to Idaho messed with having an indoor range membership that we used 3 to 5 times a week. Now it's an outdoor range. Fewer firing positions, a longer drive and often weather impaired. C'est la vie.
