Saw on a TV show report of the SW Bug match, a guy using a 686. With no offense, a short barrel L frame is really not in the spirit of the match, even if it fits in a box.

Miculek has been using that same gun for the entire time BUG nationals has existed.Originally Posted by Glenn E. Meyer
That has been commented on as also not in the spirit. It's simple - just say revolvers are J frames, LCRs or equivalent Charter Arms. There aren't that many snubbies out there to confused the issue.
I'm even a touch leery of the G26s and equivalents as BUGs. Yep, I know a lot of real world people carry them as LEOs or military. Guess, I'm cranky on this.
Which J frame on the market is a 6 shot? They effectively killed it when Bug-R rules were changed last year. There's no incentive.

The rare 32's from SW like the 432 or 632s are six shot as are the 327 LCR. Is a 32 acceptable? That's a more realistic choice than a 686 in your front pocket. The older Colts would work. But my point is that a 686 is just gaming it.
Well no shit, it's a game.
Also, .38 special is the bare minimum so no, .327 wouldn't work.
Of course it is a game! That's why we play. But to go along with a real bug concept, it should be NAA Minis, 32 ACPs and 32 revolver rounds and 380s. How many folks here put a 686 in their front pocket? That should replace the box. Get a pair of Jeans and can you wear them with the gun!
I'm repeating myself - if you want to play BUG, sorry Miculek and others, trying to win with a 686 - feh!
Coming soon to an IDPA match near you. PCC BUG division.
Haha, seems legit. Of course, in order to qualify, you'll be required to "sag" your pants like that.
That is how senior jeans are worn, I'm afraid. I need suspenders to keep up the gear for a match. I read an article about how to defend yourself on an airplane using your 'tactical' belt skills. The author left out if your pants on the ground are a handicap.
