I have sent a few PMs to confirm you received the check and to get your FFL contact info so mine can provide their information for shipping. I hope you are checking this thread if your PM's aren't working. Mods, anyway to get an email address or confirm that PM's have gone thru?

Per our PM's. I will take it!

This would be news to me. Very welcome good news but not what I thought.

Turkey calls. Hundred bucks a pop for trumpets and pot calls custom made.

P.S. Or I could just suck it up and forget about the lock. I'd have my choice of grips and no trouble getting everything else I'm looking for. But that isn't likely to happen anytime soon!!!

This is the one that has me thinking... I REALLY want this gun but am having tons of trouble finding it. So the "must have it now American spirit" in me says just spend the dough and get what you want. However, I can also see myself 30 years from now taking this gun to the range or...

Ah Ha. Yep, I thought it was going to do a Google search which I knew would give me auto parts, refridgerators, phone numbers... Thanks. This was a HUGE frustration. How can you search a Smith and Wesson site without numbers being meaningful??? I would type in "Model 686" and it would drop...

Thanks. I tried to search for it but it came back with no results. I assumed this is on of the forum searches where they "ignore meaningless" characters like numbers. I buy 5-10 guns per year and I'm kind of entering a revolver and snubby phase so this won't be my only .44 snubbie in 3-15...

Anyone have one, shoot one, thoughts on buying or owning one? I'm interested in getting a snubby .44. I would prefer a .44 mag since I could shoot specials out of them. But I probably wouldn't shoot the mags so a .44 special is probably enough. Assume lots of folks aren't fans of the...

Well, it took you long enough but at least you have good taste. She's a beauty. Enjoy it!!!

Ideal gun for me: 686 7-shot 3" barrel No Lock Thanks to some help from folks here I've been able to find a few with a 4" barrel. So there is the option of switching to a 3 inch barrel. After reading the thread on changing out a barrel, I will be sending in to S&W to have them do this for...

I'm not sure what range most folks plan to need their ccw from. But I can handle my 642 just fine for self defense purposes so I don't ever feel like I'm compromising when I carry it. As far as a range gun - I enjoy it for what it is. I don't try to shoot it 50 feet and expect to make the...

Thanks for tip. I just downloaded one for my iPhone. Excellent info in there. I can use my NC permit to some degree in 36 states so there is no way I'll know every law. I know it is my responsibility and not some $0.99 app but it's nice to have the help.

Yeah, we've been in touch. I thought from the photo there was a chip in the metal on the cylinder which is why I wasn't interested. But he clarified that was just a bad photo (or my bad eyes!). I have a few other folks sending me some pics in the next day or two following this post. So...

:mad::mad::mad: After I made my last post my computer gave me a few issues. Went out to push the buy it now button on the 686 I wanted and it was sold!!! Dummy!!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:
