My one and only revolver, a no dash 686.

ahem..ahem..

I paid $705 for my 686 no dash about 2 months ago. It might be on the higher side but I am very happy with it. Finish is just like when it came out of the box 30+ years ago. Of course, I added Ahrend grips in cocobolo the first day I brought it home.

Thanks guys. Now I can sleep better.

I got my 686 no dash about 2 weeks ago. I haven't shot it yet but when I shake the revolver, I am hearing some kind of clinking sound. It sounds like it is coming from the hammer area. I took the grips off but could not find anything loose in the grip area.

I think I paid $80 from Top gun supply. My original grips were wood and the Ahrends are a little bit slimmer.

Got my very first revolver last night, a 686 no dash. First thing I did today was clean it and replace the grips with Ahrend Retro Combat Stocks in Cocobolo finish.

I bought a 4 inch 686.

I just got a 686 no dash model and am looking for some aftermarket wood grips for it. The revolver is actually in its way from MN to MD right now. Does it have a square or round butt? I have a couple of pistols and rifles but this is my very first revolver.

My 686 no dash just left my seller's FFL today. I have no plans of sending it to S&W when I get it.

I just mailed a check last Monday for a no dash model. I hope it is close to what i am seeing in here. Nice pictures!

Let's keep this thread going. I just paid for a 686 last Monday and am dying to see it.

I had to back out from the 686-1 that I found a couple of days ago because of the ported barrel. I am still in the hunt for a 586 nickel or a 686 with a 4 inch barrel.

Does this look to be a magnaported 686?

I wonder what am I getting then? Has anybody seen a 686 with a 6 inch ported barrel? Should I get this 686?
