I had a 7 round cylinder fitted to my 686 Competitor. I can reinstall the 6 round cylinder without changing the hand.

I want one of these too. See, that wasn't hard was it?

I would give Smith and Wesson a call. Don't believe they can't do something till you hear it from them.

Aw nuts.... I saw the picture of the 1917 in post 4 and it looked really nice. I didn't think S&W still offered it but looked anyway. Saw the 686+ Performance Center though....Ordered one today. If not for reading this thread, I wouldn't have checked the catalog. That'll teach me.

I'll take it.

I wouldn't do it in my 52. That said...I was at the range with my 52 one day and a friend who worked in a pawn shop noticed it and said he had some guy come in with a 52 and was looking for 38 Super ammo. That's what he used in it, but he had run out. Note: I don't recommend this. Just...

I'll be picking up one just like OP's tomorrow. Bought from an estate. Have another, and also one with a long barrel I bought in 1972. $98.00 including tax, still have the receipt. Still looks and shoots like new.

Mine was an early one and suffered the loose barrel problem. S&W fixed it. No more problems. A great shooter and definitely a keeper. But then, all mine are keepers.

I use Bullseye for .38 wadcutters. I have an old Star loader set up for them and the charge bars are calibrated for Bullseye. The charge bars drop exactly what they are marked.

I bought a 52-2 in late 2013. Kept it in the safe and got it out to admire now and then. Never shot it. About 6 weeks ago I decided to try shooting it. I loved it. Now it goes with me whenever I shoot 38s. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Colt in 38 special to keep it company. I have an...

I ordered some from a site called Precision Delta (dot com). Haven't received them yet. You might give them a look. I don't like the coating on the Hornadys.

i'll take it.

The only problem I ever had with the Insight laser was I would find it on after carrying in a pocket holster for a while. Kept running the batteries down. I finally just removed the batteries. I doubt that the Crimson Trace would be any different.
