New 357/686 member from Dublin Northern California
Hi, started with a post two weeks ago, so I want to
introduce myself. I am from Dublin Northern California.
1987 purchased a SW357 revolver brand new. I've never opened the box ~ it's now NIB. Because of nationwide violence, I desire home defense protection. I'm planning to learn to shoot. Therefore, I want to know what kind of gun I own. After researching, 357/686's have models with/without "-" after the "MOD 686" number. Specs are:
a) Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum Model 686 NO Dash
b) 8-3/8” barrel, six shooter
c) SN's behind cylinder: A3 37698, AUL 1879, MOD 686 (NO Dash)
d) SN: "AUL 1879" found: 1) behind cylinder 2) under gun handle grip 3) on retail box
e) Also a number on the retail box: P17370
f) Special Order Number: 6175
After two recent weeks searching the web, online YouTube and
local gun stores, I'm very happy to be in the S&W Forum.
Currently seeking a usable S&W 357 revolver 4"/6" for home defense
and range practice. Taking advice from other S&W Forum members,
I'll store my 357magnum 686 for collecting or other possibilities.
Look forward to reading many many S&W threads.
Cheers! Toppscore

Welcome from the other side, Florida!...
Thats a mighty fine revolver you have sir. I myself have always been Partial to the 4inch guns, my favorite is my 686 no dash(no-m) 4in gun... I'm sure with some more interaction on the forums here and posting an add for trade or for sale you should find what you are looking for sir.
Good luck and welcome

Well. I just purchased a Springfield XD 9mm 4" semi
and am seeking to purchase another 686 to allow for
the retirement of my NIB 357/686 to lock and box life.
Need a shotgun as well.
