Thanks s3dcor!!

I have a 686-6 with a serial number of CLW32XX. I would be much obliged if anyone could offer up it's date of manufacture. Thanks!

fwiw - looks like a pretty good deal to me, if I was in the market for a 686 6"...

I have a couple model 10's. One is a 10-6 1973 vintage in about 80-85% condition. It has the standard wood grips. My other is a 10-11 former police revolver(I have no info as to which police dept it was issued to etc) with the number 78 stamped on the side. It is in about 85-90% condition...

A used model at that....:)

Picked up a pretty nice used model 10-11. The serial number is CDA244X. I know the model 10-11's were first introduced in 1997, but would appreciate a more date of manufacture. I'm guessing 1999, but that is just a guess.:D

I got a box of Hornady ftx 110 90310 and have a box of Remington ultimate home defense 38 +p 125 grain jhp. Now I will try and get a box of Nyclad's and some Buffalo Bore. Havent heard much about the above listed Remington's. Anybody ever used them?

Hats off to Alabama's defense. Jefferson flat out stunk. Wonder if they'll revert his charges back to felony after they reduced it to misdemeanor so he could play???lol

Wow, guess I had an uninformed service rep....I specifically asked if I could buy the whole case and he said no.... I actually ordered the small blue case (states it is for gun up to 6" barrel)from the online store. It was $10.58 and with shipping came to just over $17. Hope I got the right size.

I got a guy with a pretty heavy New England accent. He didnt sound too amused or sympathetic to my story. At least he didnt suggest I "wait a couple days and try to recover it".:D

After calling customer service, unfortunately I cannot procure foam from them. They have of course switched from the plastic cases back to the boxes.....To the craft store I shall go. Or wait, perhaps I could trade this gun for the 3" version to get a properly foamed case. lol

Thanks guys, I will give customer service a try. I bought that gun brand new and would like to keep it all nice and stock. Only issue I have is I wish I had bought a 3" barrel instead of the 4". Cant balme that one on the dog can I???:D

I had loaned my 686-6 to a friend of mine for an extended period. He and his wife is a smoker. When he brought the gun and it's case back to me it wreaked of smoke. I cleaned the plastic and took the foam out of the case and cleaned it as well. I put the cleaned foam outside on the bench to...

From my own research the 125 gr Nyclad seemed to be a good choice. I am glad you re-affirmed that. I will take a look at the Hornady ftx and the win pdx as well. Thanks for your imput.

I just picked up a 1973 model 10-6. It will be mainly a night stand gun. I know every gun is different, but is any particular round shown to be pretty good (for home defense) for this particular model and vintage. I would like a recomendation for both +p and standard pressure rounds. Thanks...
