My favorite revolver for 38 special is a S&W 686 6 inch set up with a red dot sight using 38 special wadcutter brass with 3.2 grains of Bullseye powder with a Lyman Ideal 358495 wadcutter boolit.I like to shoot one handed on the 25 or 50 yard slow fire pistol target. This revolver is way more accurate than I can hold.
