re: I want a good revolver. Long lasting, probably aluminum or stainless.

I have the Ruger SP101. It didn't come hammerless so I had the hammer removed. Replaced the grip because the factory grip blows. Have both an OWB and IWB holster for it and I keep two speedloaders on the belt. 15 rounds of .357 mag? Bitch please.

S&W 686 since Snake guns are hard to come by.

First and MOST important question: WHAT is the intended PURPOSE of the new revolver???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw both Napoleon's post as well as Tbobby's post that he responded to. A 2 word answer to a non-question didn't clarify to me the purpose of the gun so I thought it resonable to directly ask.
As far as selecting a revolver for concealed carry, I'd recommend a 5 shot, lightweight, Double action only, snub nose 38 Spec (capable of handling +P loads) made by a manufacturer known for reliable guns. Iprefer a shrouded or hidden hammer instead of a bobbed hammer. Some of the ones that come to mind include the Ruger LCR and S&W series. Lower level guns (Taurus, Rossi, etc) might be ok, but beware of reliability issues. If you can find a used Colt in good condition, that would also be fine. A snub nose lightweight 38 Spec is a pleasure to carry, but it's a difficult gun to master and shoot well. Be prepared to practice a lot. Reducted loads are very useful for this. In this type of gun, I don't recommend cc w/ a 357 Mag because of the increased muzzle blast, muzzle flash and recoil it has compared to the 38 Spec. Let us know what you get. Enjoy the buying and practicing process.
