I have two very accurate loads in my 686-8" that I shot in the 386 today. The light load was still an easy shooting light load. The mid-level load with 160 gr FN cast felt more like full level magnum in the scandium framed 386. Accuracy suffered I think because of the fiber optic front sight. I'll find out as I shoot it more. I do not think I would want to shoot 100+ rounds of my mid-level in the 386, 50 was enough. I do like the grips and easy handling of the 386.

Congratulations. I've got my sights set on one a 329PD. I had one once, but money got tight and down the road it went.
