Just got my 3" 629 Deluxe outta layaway yesterday. Have not gotten to shoot it yet, but fit, finish, and quality are top notch. Trigger is a bit heavy in DA, but the SA trigger is typical Smith crisp. Will mostly feed it Specials (sure wish they were more plentiful over the counter in my area)...

That is the Performance Center model, right? I have the 3" Deluxe 629 on layaway right now. Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk

Model 65, for now! Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk

just ordered a 3" Model 629 Deluxe yesterday, should be in next week. Probably going to feed it a steady diet of Specials. Just wanted a bigger bore than my .357's. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

A 586(blued) or 686 (stainless) with a three or four inch barrel is a great start, but they are a bit heavy. Another possibility is a Model 66 k-frame, bit smaller and lighter to carry or conceal. Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk

Forgot a pic, here is the 3 inch, and one of all three of my L frames. A 586-8 shipped 2 Nov 16 and a 686 no dash from around April 84 round out the trio. Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk

Not 100% certain, but I believe the cracked forcing cone issue on the older 66's was due to a thinner section of the forcing cone. I believe the newer 66's use a different cylinder lock up and the forcing cones are not thinner like in the past. As for a three inch 686, I have the 3" 3-5-7...

I did counter offer the 686 for a Model 28 HP that he has, he balked on that offer! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

appreciate the quick responses. I already have three AR's so no need or want for another. I believe I will pass on his offer. I actually got the ND 686 from him a year ago in a trade for a first edition Savage Mod 10 FCM Scout. I believe I got the better deal then, and will hang onto the 686...

My bro in law wants to trade me a DB15 AR with a stainless Bergara barrel (and orig barrel), a two stage 4.5 lb aftermarket trigger, and aftermarket stock and foregrip for my 1984 made 686 no dash 4 inch that is in great condition.......would you guys do it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using...

Big fan of the 686/586. The 3" goes wherever I go Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk
