686 no dash
I grabbed this excellent condition 686 no dash today. Curious if you guys run across many of the "ND", because I don't find many in my parts.

Man, that is beautiful.
I found one earlier this year. Someone had kept it unfired all these years.I bought it and started shooting it.Mine had the M stamp already. Does yours? http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...aga/006-12.jpg |
Wow those are beauties! I'm still looking for mine.

My first S&W revolver was a 686 6 inch no dash that I later sold to a friend and then it was stolen from him. So I searched and found another just 3 years ago as I had to replace my first S&W revolver.

Ed, Did you have the patridge front sight installed? I have a -3 with an integral red ramp, and I would like to have a patridge. If you had the same and had it changed, I would be interested in what was involved and the cost. Maybe you could pm me. Andy P.S. to the rest of you: beautiful guns, and back to the topic. Please pardon this interruption. |
I just a got a 586 no dash in this week. Going to shoot for the first time today. No M on this one. Somehow I dont believe a diet of wadcutters is going to mandate sending it back

Snowman,
I bought this 686 used with the Patridge sight. From the photo you can see it is pinned. I have no idea if it came from the factory that way but assume it did. Otherwise the seller would have made a point of it. He didn't. Ed |
I picked up a 686 no dash, 6" barrel, NIB from 1984 a couple of years ago. I still haven't shot it. Guess I need to.
By the way those are all good looking guns and good pictures. ________ James |

Very nice looking pistols. The 686 has been my favorite revolver since it came out.
|
Yup, my dad bought this one when they first came out, we kept all the papers, receipt, etc. with it. Now with my older son:

I'm the origional owner of a ND without the M. No plans to send it off either. That started a love affair with the L frames that I don't seem to be getting over.

Here's mine, top left.

They seem to pop up fairly regularly in my neck of the woods. Mine is a police trade-in, so it has some dings and scratches, not sure on dept.

Could you guys enlighten me as to the "M" stamp and the mod required? In the vague recesses of mind mind I remember something about the firing pin but can't put my finger on the details. ;)

Mine came to me in a package deal - A fellow had the Model 686 and a Model 19-4. Got both for a total of $850.

ME TOO. Just last weekend I was fortunate to find this 586 (no dash) 6" at a local gun show. Goncalo Alves "cut out" furniture and the rarer 4 position click adjustable FRONT sight. He wanted $600, settled @ $525 out the door in nearly new condition, matching box and all the goodies. Not a steal, but a good number. SWEET wheel gun, and a good companion to my March 2012 manufacture 686-6+.
No "M" mark on mine either and I don't intend to send it in for the fix. I thought I preferred a 4" barrel like my 686+, but this 6" is really growing on me. OK . . . no vulgar comments guys! ; - ) - hutch |

My 586 6" came from the factory with a Patridge sight, that is integral with the frame. It is a AAA serial number so early production. I have seen some other Patridge 686's, but they all have pinned front sights that I believe are factory from the contour of the sight and the fact that replacement Patridge sights can be purchased that fit. Most, however, have the orange insert ramp sights. |
