I have been watching a 686 .38 only for months in a lgs. (it has been there six months already) I plan to wait another three months and if it is still there I will lay some cash on the counter (a suggestion from forum member) and see what happens. One thought I have is that it is not worthy of residing with the .357 breathern. It goes along with the thought why do I want a .38 only? Because! I know it is comic and I laugh at the thoughts myself. I reason that if the gun is still there and I buy it at the price I have in mind I can hold it as long as I want. And I should be able to make money on it if I sell it. :cool:

686 164219 - Medium Frame, .38S&W Special+P Only, Single/Double Action, 7 Rounds, 4" barrel, 6.4 cm Red Ramp/Adj. White Outline, Synthetic Grips, 7.5" 19.1 cm 34.7 oz Stainless Steel Satin

EDIT: I went back in March and laid four hundred dollar bills on the counter and he said No. And I felt so relieved!!!! What do I want a .38 caliber only 686 for? Temporary insanity is what it was.

I won't stop you from getting one. After all, Christmas is almost here and I am an enabler. Buy yourself a Christmas present. :D
 
I probably overpaid for this 686-4 six inch with the four position PPC front sight. Always like the looks of that sight for some reason. The gun had a cheap scope and mount on it when purchased. No back sight.S&W is out of the correct rear sight for this model, So, I ordered an LPA sight which uses the factory scope mount holes. Very nice sight with precise adjustments.

Love the 5-Star Speedloaders and those grips look like they were made by Altamont. Can you confirm?
 
Just thought I would chime in...

I just found this great thread and, being new here, I thought I would chime in and post a few pictures of my beloved 686. This peculiar model seems to have been specially built for the italian market but a few made their way to France and I was lucky to get one (new). The model's name is "Rappy" and it's a 6 shots, 5" barrel gun. Did I say I love it?
