The factory letter states your M686 is a -6, but it's not. It's a -5. I'd contact Mr. Jinks and ask for a corrected letter. Small mistakes like that are not uncommon and Roy is always quick in correcting them. That would also be a good time to ask why S&W was shipping -5's in 2009. (Maybe include a picture). That, for me, is the single most unusual thing about this gun. He might expand on why.

Default 686-5 Presidents

I Received a new letter with only one change in it, he changed it to a 686-5, other than that everything is almost the same as original letter

Thanks Kernel,
Bob

Well, I have being shooting pistols for many years in competitions, but it did not work out with a revolver for me...until now. It is just a pleasure to shoot and every time I shoot it or just look at it I am very pleased.

One thing is wondering me...the serial number. In the letter from S&W later on in this thread, a serie of 15 revolvers starting with serials number dcx was produced to Germany. My revolver have serial number CFJ.
any pictures of your revolver

The barrel stamp is "The President's" which is possessive.

Does that mean it was intended for a president to own it..?
