[quote=@Foster] *Would point out that a 686 is a dirty-harry .357 magnum squashed down into a micro. Will be painful to use. Will still go bang when trigger is pulled, just not a lot of gun to hold on to when it does go bang. [/quote] Would point out I knew that. Would also point out that 12-year-old child isn't expert on firearms, and grabs what he can.
