I just picked up a 98% 4" 686-4 from my local dealer for $421 out the door. I took her to the range and it shoots great...as expected. I think I did okay on price. What are these going for nowadays on the secondary market? Thanks.
Aren't side plates polished in-place on the frame at the factory? If so, how does a sideplate stand that proud on an otherwise properly polished gun?
Replacement sideplate maybe?
That is a beauty! I prefer the unfluted CH line myself though. I do love the wood Hogue grips. I have a set just like that on a 29. They offer a great feel and even better looks!
