I have the 4" and the 2 1/2" 686 and love them.One day I'll get the 6" to round out my collection :) Also I completely understand about being to painful to talk about past guns,weve all been there.LOL
I went to Bill Goodman's Gun and Knife show at Hara Arena this past Saturday...INSANELY busy. You'd think there was pending legislation, it was that busy. Could barely move! Glad to see gun enthusiasts out in mass...but selfishly, I wish it would have been less crazy! Nice gun, by the way.
@Rubberbandballer The guys were telling me that it's usually busy at gun shows this time of year, but also this is the "Fast and Furious" affect. Thanks for watching!
@thebudgetarmory1 Yes , mine are the OG grips made of wood my man. I have seen that Pachmayr rubber grip on numerous revolvers Colt, S&W, Ruger,..they are just nice revolver grips that Pachmayr makes and fairly common.
Sweet 686 brother, you just can't go wrong with those (unless you get one with an off center barrel). Glad you were able to stumble upon it my friend!
Very nice review! Hope she serves you well. I have fond memories of shooting my uncle's 686 when I was a kid and would love to find one in as good condition as yours. On a side note, I hope the job situation improves (or has already) for you. I always look forward to seeing your vids.
i have this same vintage 686 no dash since 1985,never sent in for the recall,no problems at all,and its had some frame stretchers sent through it..good looking revolver..been shooting Georgia arms ammo for years good stuff..
Beautiful gun! I'm in agreement with you, the Python is a tad bit better in the looks and ergonomics department. Not by much-the 686 ain't chopped liver!!!
@ItsBigDanBaby I wouldn't have minded a 586, but there just wasn't one available. I don't think S&W is even making the 586 anymore, so yours is definitely a keeper.
a real gem Ed, don't know how I missed this video. I'm glad you finally found one that fits your needs. I prefer 38 for edc, but price and availability of ammo in my area has always been an issue here. Once one of the most popular rounds is now so darn expensive to shoot, so thanks for including the maker and prices!
You forgot to say how much did you pay for this. Can you advise?

@tylerwhale666 Were they the wood target grips? I think my grips were actually made for a different revolver entirely.
