You got it, good looking gun. Nice piece of wood too.

It is a neat picture of a nice firearm.

Yer flyin solo ermad! Nice pistol & pic!

north country gal · 01-28-2015, 07:36 PM

Thanks, ermad. The 686 is an icon in the 357 world. How can any revolver lover not own at least one?

moakes58 · 01-28-2015, 07:52 PM

I'm sorry, but that revolver looks counterfeit to me.

I will PM you my address & you send it to me & I will get to the bottom of this!

gunjunkie · 01-28-2015, 08:31 PM

That's a good lookin Smith.

The 686 is my favorite in DA 357

Happy Pappy · 01-29-2015, 04:09 AM

Very nice

Since we're on the 686, here's a couple of ours.

This is our 686 no dash, first year of production gun, now in at S&W to have the hammer and bushing updated as per S&Ws recall in 1987 to correct the issue of the firing pin hanging up in the primer with certain hot loads.

Here's our current production, new 686 that I shoot probably more than any other revolver. It's my workhorse target gun. It's now wearing a 2x Leupold scope rather than the red dot in the pic so that I can hopefully get those embarrassing groups cut down a bit in size.

As much as I love the practicality of stainless, I don't think there's any revolver that looks as good as a S&W in blue. Here's our new production 586, the blued version of the 686.

RetiredSeabee · 01-30-2015, 03:05 PM

Ooooh! that 586 is a beauty!

brianinpa · 01-30-2015, 06:22 PM

Nothing wrong with a good S&W! I think it should be a requirement that you must own at least one. Here's mine.

north country gal · 01-30-2015, 06:57 PM

Brain, I'm in awe. That's a gem.

ermad · 01-30-2015, 07:37 PM

NCG when you say no dash do you mean btw the model and 686?

I like the SS with the wood and blued one equal.

Nice looking. How is the balance with the longer barrel?
