I hear its a nice revolver for .44 special.
Yeah, in the movie even `Harry’ (Clint Eastwood) said he used light custom loads.
It is excellent for 44SPL. That's my preference for shooting centerfire competition. The 686+ using 38SPL with 148 gr DEWC is my first choice for centerfire. I did shoot one match with full 240 gr JHP 44Mag. Not a great final score.
