686 Hand Canon
I had a 617 with that barrel. Talk about front heavy with that small caliber bore, but, of course I no longer have it! Very accurate as was the 17 I had. Nice, nice gun and not real common. I have a 4" Python but would love one of the run of 38's that Colt made with an 8". Very pricey and I don't think it's one I could afford anyway. You'll love that 686 especially shooting 357.

Did it come with support structure and wheels?
Beautiful Revolvers!
I came to this thread looking for information on a Model 586 with a 8 3/8" barrel, bit now I may have to hold out for a stainless one---these things are gorgeous!!!
I have a 586 local in a big chain pawn shop, but not sure if I can justify the $675 price tag right now.

Beautiful! Now that's what a handgun is supposed to look like! Except for the porting......looks like a "lil" brother to my X-Frame.

That is a steal for an 8 3/8 586. The 686 is much more common.
Those are beeeyoooteephul guns! I don't think I can be comfortable with that long of a barrel but I know that my 6" M586 is a *****cat to shoot and superbly accurate.
Interestingly, and very personally, despite my remark about those guns being beautiful, and they are!, I find that shorter barreled revolvers are actually more attractive to me than the long barreled flavor.

You forgot to add except for that 2 lb under lug........In reality whatever you like and makes you happy is OK.

Nice looking revolver. Congrats!
I have a 686-1 but with a 4" barrel. Not to fret since I also have twos Model 27-2's with 8 3/8th " barrels. They are all enjoyable to shoot and echo off the lake here with a thunderous roar.

The 4th Engineering Change is definitely my favorite of the 686's! Congratulations on a great find misswired!
Well Mr. Brown this pistol has a problem.... no big deal ... we won't go backwards to woe is me buying a defective classic pistol.... but going forward, I think the cylinder is peened'... I can hang my fingernail on 5 of the cylinder notches . The cylinder doesn't want to release from the frame lock-up on two cylinders... on the older revolvers I have. ... non have this level of peening..
