I'm years behind as this thread was originally from 2011, but it's so rare to see an old school 686 snub with magna grips! That is so cool! I want one too! I've seen 2 that came stock with magnas, but that's it. Most snubs have the combat grips, but I don't care for those. That 686 you have with magnas is one of my few must have guns. I'd LOVE a snub 586 from the 80's and put magnas on that, but I'd have a better chance finding the 686. One of the 2 I saw with Mangas was at a gun show a year ago, unfortunately I didn't have the money to buy it. One day I'll have one. Did your's come with them or did you put them on yourself? Either way, I LOVE when people have magnas on a Smith & Wesson revolver. I can't stand the look or feel of rubber grips. My dad used to have a 6 inch 686 when I was a kid and even though they weren't magnas, I used to make him put the wood grips on before we'd go to the range. He sold most of his guns about 10 years ago and at the time I wasn't a big revolver fan, especially longer barrels so when he let me pick a gun, I went for the Colt 1911, but alas I was denied. Said it was worth too much money and he needed money. So I took his 40 cal Beretta 9000s. That is such a nice gun man, so glad I finally found another picture of one with magnas!
