s&w 686 2 1/2 inch pricing

[Truckman]

I was offered one today at a gunshow with the original combat grips and correctly labeled original box for $3500...As a bonus he would have thrown in the Lew Horton 3" 629 also with combat grips and original box at no extra charge...

I too have a 686-4 pre-lock, combats, 2-1/2" and 7 shots
Can anyone tell me when and for how long S&W built this configuration?

I believe that configuration was made for less than a year in 1996.

Recent auction 2 months ago had a 2 1/2" 686-4 with original combats in original box hammer for $1639.00 before fees,tax and shipping.
I recently sold one in original box with original combats for $1500 to a forum member.
Still have 2 more 2 1/2" 686-4 with rubber grips and no boxes.

I have a -3, and a -4.It would take a pile of change to get them.

Here's one I found at an LGS a couple years ago.

I bought this one a while ago. 686-4. One of the best triggers I've had. Wearing Herret's retro combats, very comfy grips.

I paid less for it than my 686 through a local sale. Maybe they didn't know what they had?

That's often the case...

I just bought a 686 no dash for $700, asking price was $750. No box and came with round butt magna's. Price seemed low to me.

 

[GSP Fan]

that was a great price.

I gave $1300 for this -1 within the past 6 months (probably overpaid but happy anyway). Came with nice combats but like these bigmtnman's stags better!

I just picked up a 686-1 snubby yesterday for $720. It's a shooter and not perfect with some pitting, but I'm thinking it will clean up nicely. I'm also going to refinish the stocks. It will be my first attempt at that. After reading through this thread, I'm thinking I got a pretty good deal, even given the finish issues. Gun mechanics are sound.

Nice find! I haven't seen a pre lock 2.5" 686 in 4-5 years - I would have bought if I did. If it were mine, I'd bead blast it and send it to H and M for black nitriding.

This 2 1/2" 686-4 was my nightstand gun for many years.
It will be up for sale soon in the Guns for Sale Forum.

I was actively trying to keep a list of 686-4+ guns for a while. Haven't done anything with it for a few years now. I had all 3 barrel lengths too. Now I just have a 2.5" and a 4".

The Big Tulsa Gun show is this weekend. I'll keep an eye out and report back if I see any and their price.
