Those are all some fine looking guns. I have collection envy!

I used to drool over Clark's customs. I had a special, scope ready 586 with a 2x Burris on it back about 1990 that was boring to shoot because it was so damn accurate.

Sunkist here is a 696 no - that I'm picking up tomorrow.

Here's my 586 no dash, no M that I picked up a few weeks ago, in the box with everything right down to the original sales slip. Still even smells like Smith oil

I'm really liking the look of the Magnas on those L frames, even the white ones. Hmmmm.

Duke, very nice! I just put a deposit down on a 581 myself, and I am a big fan of Kurac's grips.

But, back to the subject at hand:

PC 686+(-4), Spegel grips, lots of nice little touches

Thank you sir- I feel lucky to have run across it, it wasn't 'til I had it in hand that I started noticing the chamfered chambers, tear drop hammer, and nicely beveled cylinder face, among other things. The downside is I look at some of my other S&W's and start wondering what it would take to make them like this one!

I am looking forward to getting my 581, and I might just have to ask Kurac about some grips!

Here's one I used to own..

One that's not going anywhere as it was a Christmas present from my wife a couple of years ago. 4" 686-2 shown with a 29-5

My 686 customized by removing the barrel lug and reshaping the barrel. It's been magnaported and wears a custom Millet rear sight. The cylinder is modified to use TK Custom moonclips.
