Its a great gun I own the exact same model very accurate and powerful. I may trade it in for a Glock 19 or 30 for more firepower since it only holds 7.
And I don't think the .357 has high recoil. I think people just say that because their first handgun they shot was a 9 auto. I think people should train controlling a 357 that way a 9 or a 40 would be a breeze
First handgun I ever shot. Only shot it once but I was tagging gallons at a hundred yards. I'm not an expert but when I shoot I keep my right arm fully extended. Than I place my left hand over my right and use my left arm to pull downward. It keeps barrel flip down and allows je to fast and accurte
with a smith and wesson 686 4 inch barrel at 20 yards im shooting a 2.5 inch grouping using cheap .357 magnum ammo with better ammo im sure i could get down to 2 inch groupings it is an amazing weapon i highly recommend anyone whos looking at these to pick one up im shooting 5-6 inch groups at 50 yards from a 4 inch barrel
You have your right hand to far down on the butt of your wpn. The fleshy part between your tumb and and forefinger should be level with but not above the TANG of your wpn. I retired from the Orange County Sheriff's Department (CA). I had been a wpns instructor and range clerk.
You need to take your time more. At one point it looked like your finger slipped and you shot too early. It's hard enough to hit anything with a pistol (in my opinion) especially something with that much kick, even if you can handle it.
@RoyalAlba1 The vast majority of revolvers made now are SA/DA. Every S&W revolver in production is, excluding some specifically made for concealed carry where the hammer is covered (to avoid snagging) and thus DAO. SAO would be the old west cowboy style. Those exist for folks who simply like that unique look & feel. SAO isn't popular since DA revolvers were perfected at least 120 years ago. And you get SA anyhow with an DA that has an exposed hammer as almost all do, like the S&W 686 here.
Wow. It's amazing how every gun video is immediately spammed with people telling the shooter what they did wrong. Shut up you freakin' safety Nazis. It's not like he's waving it around; and the correct stance is the one you feel most comfortable in. I think I'm going to get one of these eventually. I'll probley the the six rounder though. Wonder what kind of ammo he was shooting.
I can understand it if the cameraman is fucking walking in front of the camera (like in another video I saw here on the Tube), but he's holding the gun straight forward. I can't see what he's doing wrong
I believe he's shooting 357 mag, because .38 special doesn't sound like that. But hey, I just count on my ears :P
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what a looser i am 13 and i can handle that gun beter(i can also count to six) and i want to see his target he probaly only hit it 3 times, and by the way anyone who sais to just pull the triger is kinda dumb if your just doing target practice why not put the hammer back it increses acurecy and plust makes the triger pull around 3 lbs instead of 20
hey little bitch- i fired 7 shots and i had about a 2 inch shot group. Learn how to spell before you come on here talking shit. Post a video of yourself firing a .357 and we'll see if you can handle the kick better.
Hey fuck off you little pussy. You have probably never touched a gun in your life. If you had you would know that a full power .357 even out of a heavy gun kicks pretty hard. Swedish did a good job handling the weapon. Lets see a video of you shooting any better you little puss. I bet the first shot would bounce the gun off your head because of the recoil.
hey spunky, do us all a favor and fire six shots out of this gun then point it at your head and pull the trigger. alternatively you can learn to count to 7.
great vid absolutly luv this gun, i have the model 66 but im tradeing it in for a 686
a word of advice but i dont want to sound like im picking at u for sumthing
if ur right handed cock the hammer with ur left had cuz once u get ur grip on the handle and u remove ur thumb to cock ur changeing the grip u have on it so u use ir left, any pro could tell ya
but as i said im not trying to be a know it all and i used to do the same thing and i greatly improved once i made the change
Ha ha, that last empty chamber "shot" gave you up! You may be pulling the trigger instead of squeezing it. On a surprise empty camber shot, there should be no pistol movement, try practicing with a "dry fire" bullet. Very nice pistol!
YOU SHOOT LIKE A BITCH

you need a more aggressive stance.

@fuscian no no. Its double action & single action (just like most revolvers now)
Its easier to have better grouping when single action because you dont have to pull the trigger as far, just barely push it

@andyffer great thanks for the info fam. how do u put into into double action and how to put back into single action ?

@fuscian Double action: pull the trigger and the hammer goes back with it, then fires.
Single action: pull the hammer back (like in video) then pull the trigger
