Thank you cosermann! I've had an opportunity to buy a 686 4" without the key and passed, but now have purchased a 686+ 3" with the key (yet to receive). And since, 2 is always better than 1, I'm thinking more about getting that 686 4" and using the same key for both. Would it work?

That being said - what do I use for a good cleaner? I figure anything over the counter is ok, but know some...
I've found the 686 and 686+ locally for $800. After tax, the cost would be in the neighborhood of $850 with taxes. I can get the same gun online used for under $600, but will cost me around $40 for shipping and $35 for local club transfer fee. Finding seller in Indiana would be the key. If in...
I'm looking to by my first revolver and online seems to be the best way to find what I'm looking for used or slightly used.
1) what website would you recommend?
2) are there rules/laws for buying and selling?
I've found armslist to have many guns, but most are out of state an would...
I am newbie when it comes to most firearms especially handguns. I hunted with shotguns when I was a teenager, but went to college and haven't made time since. I never knew that there were handguns that shoot shotgun shells.
