Default Wish I had this back then...

I've only had this 686-4+ snubbie for a few years and it has become my favorite EDC revolver, as many of you know already. I would have loved to carry this as my duty weapon when I worked in the crime lab. It would have been perfect for that. It was made the year that I became a crime scene investigator, so I figured it would make a good picture with my old badge. I think the Black Talons date back to then, too.

The VZ grips aren't as pretty as wood, but they are comfortable and tough.

VZs are prettier than rubber!!!

Nice gun. I love mine, even with the rubber.

I can't post a picture - I am getting data base errors.....

Shark Bait thanks for what you have done in your profession. The 686+ 2.5" is a beauty, especially as a 7 shooter.

It is one of my carry options and it is a workhorse. Thanks for the post.
