Hello all, I've had this 686 for some time. And it's an unbelievably great revolver to shoot.
As the gunsmith who did the work has past away, I can't ask where I can find another barrel weight like this one. As I would like to put one on another 686+ 6".

My question is,does anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks

Interesting, I haven't seen one of those barrel weights before.

I did the exact same mod to the front sight on my defense gun 686 to make the front edge vertical (and easier to see).

Not sure I would put an overtravel stop on the trigger of s defense gun, but maybe it's OK.

Looks like it could be a modified Jarvis underlug. Haven't been made for a while.

I use this 686 for indoor bulls eye and bowling pin matches. That is what the I use the over travel stop. This baby is way to heavy to carry.

Thanks Tomcatt51. I'll do a search for Jarvis .

My mistake. I guess I figured the bobbed hammer was to prevent draw snag on clothing.

There happens to be an entire 6" 686 with the barrel weight on it at GB. # 128791290

Thanks,socal s&w. That looks like what I need. That's not a bad price on that 686. But I just need the the weight

You may be able to order one from Clark Custom. There shop does a lot of PPC revos.

Hi Brian, I wet on Clarks web site. Thay do have one but it only will fit on there heavy barrel.

Thanks, Dan

Wichita also made some, I believe you will see 6" versions often, with the occasional 4" (?).
It's possible that the one pictured above started as a Wichita and was reshaped/contoured by the gunsmith (?) Maybe not, it looks like it is secured to the barrel differently than the Wichita, which in the case of the one below has a screw hole in the front that attaches to the underlug.
Here's one for a 5" M686 barrel, with the barrel

If you have a "friendly" machinist shop nearby, take your 686+ and your underlug to him and ask him to make you one to hit the 6".

SmithNut I think you are right about the weight on my revolver. It does look like it was cut down and reshaped. as you can see from the tool marks.



I do like the look of Wichita weight. Are they available? If so where.

Thanks for your help, Dan

Easyer to put on or remove! Extreme finish! Me and a friend here in sweden have just started produktion on a small hobby basis to give ppc shooters and hunters a easy handled produkt. No drilling needed
and a nice alternative instead of changing the barrel to increase weight.
Works perfekt! A lot of PPC shooters in sweden use this insted of bying expensive barrels.
Fits common competition holsters like Sickinger Speed machine and others.
Most people traying to make simular forgets that it has to fit the holster also!

We are still making them if anyone is intrested!
Sold them to shooters in Sweden, Norway, Ireland, US, Canada and to Australia with no complains so far!
