Awesome! Glad you are happy with your purchase. I could not be happier with my 22Compact. Now if my suppressor paperwork could come back already I could complete it.

I kind of circled the wagon on 9mm before finally jumping in earlier this year with an M&P Pro. Like a previous poster mentioned above, it is an insanely accurate handgun and I shoot it the best of all my pistols. I started off buying three 22's and then a 45 and a 12 gauge, before finally...

Congrats! I love mine. It's my favorite 22 pistol to plink with. It eats any kind of 22 I put in it. Enjoy the great gun!

My favorite .22 My favorite .22 - I own a Sig 1911-22 and a Ruger 10/22 and the M&P 22C is my favorite of them all. The thing is so lightweight but functions LIKE A BEAST. It has eaten every kind of .22 I've thrown into it. From walmart garbage to nice CCI. Previous posters said Automatch gave...

Answered my own question. Duh, it's on the 686 Wikipedia page. Dash Numbers 686 no dash, introduced model 686-1, 1986, radius stud package, floating hand 686-2, 1987, changed hammer nose, bushing and associated parts 686-3, 1988, new yoke retention system 686-4, 1993, change rear sight...

Is there anyone who can explain the differences between the variations of the 686? I've seen 686-1 all the way up through 686-6. I know they are the different variations that Smith put out over the years as they tweaked and improved the 686, I'd just like to know what exactly is different...

Man she's beautiful. I'm looking at the 686plus or the 66 4" now.

Just completed the job this past Saturday. I cannot express how gratifying the experience was when I was finished. So glad I did it myself. Ended up using clips from a couple different Youtube videos (the actual videos from Apex are low-def and pretty bad). You're right about the hardest part...

I can absolutely see this happening haha.

This is what I have my sights on now. I see them online for around $800 but I'm going to my local gun store and see what they'll quote me.

How difficult will this be to install myself? I was thinking of going to a gunsmith.

Looking at the 686 3" now. OH MY GOD THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL GUN. I'm finding the 3" to be my favorite. It's proportioned just right. They are low $700's new though. That's basically double my budget. Might have to just save twice as long as I had planned and buy it. I cannot get over how nice...
