I love my 686, but my old Smith model 64 (.38 spl) is the best shooting gun I have. It's a $299 police trade-in, and it has taken the 686's position as my nightstand gun.
Utility has a beauty of its own.
Love those grips. Look like wood, grip like rubber. Best of both worlds.
to back my previous claim...

read instruction manual

That is an improvement. I had forgotten how much I hated that on some of the Rugers I have seen. It looked like the whole instruction manual was printed on the side of the barrel.
Ruger finally minimized the warning, this happened at least 2 yrs ago.
It was like a billboard before, now it's just a few words
EDIT: apparently I quoted the wrong post. I was trying to reference the post about Ruger's excessive warning label (which drove me nuts too -- what an efficient way to ruin the looks of a beautiful gun, just put a massive warning label all over 1/2 of the barrel)
