Update. Without getting into peticulars, the gun was sent back due to some manufactures defects. When the gun was sent back to me the issues were still not resolved and the gun went back for a second time. CSMC replaced the original gun with a brand new gun that was even prettier then the first, and the fit and finish was nearly perfect (I can be VERY peticular). I give credit to CSMC for making things right. I will also say this, the Inverness is a BEAUTIFUL gun that handles very well. I think my 686 will see a lot more time in the safe now. IMO, there is little comparison.
