    629 Lets see YOURS

    Availabilty of 686 3" and other possibilities?

    I've had a 647PC on order for over a year and the factory is telling me not to hold my breath. I ordered a 686P with a 3" barrel 4 months ago and my gun shop got one in 2 weeks. It might not be that hard for your shop to find one.

    Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

    I carry nothing but revolvers. I carry a 637 Chief's Special, 315 Night Guard, and a 686 Plus. My bread-and-butter EDC is the 315, but carry the J and L frames infrequently.

    S&W wheel burners - Check this out.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. I was curious because it isn't on any other gun I have. The CNC explanation makes the most sense. Thanks again.

    S&W wheel burners - Check this out.

    I bought this 686 new and put this picture up on the forum earlier because of the weird divot on the cylinder. Nobody recognized it ( I sure didn't) so I sent it back. It came back without work. The paperwork said that the "mark on the cylinder is part of machining process, all new cylinders...

    2A/NRA Shirts Hats

    Oh, I forgot one thing - I got my tattoo changed to say "don't tread on me." I'd submit a pic but it's still all scabbed up.

    2A/NRA Shirts Hats

    I wear 2a and "don't tread on me" shirts. I have a "molon labe" bumper sticker, and "don't tread on me license plates" (gotta love Virginia). Screw the libs. I don't care what they think.

    It's a Performance Center Stealth Hunter with Ahrends stocks. It's compensated. That, with the 7 1/2" full lug barrel makes it a real sweet heart to shoot. I have 9 S&W revolvers and this is my favorite gun to shoot.

    Cleaning a 686

    Never use grease. Oil very sparingly (one drop) down the cocked hammer, but not every time you clean. Maybe once or twice a year. One drop (then wipe) on the ejector rod and one drop where the yoke interfaces the frame. Again, for all these, not every time you clean. Maybe once or twice a...

    629 5" Classic and wait times?

    Don't hold your breath guy. I've had a 647PC on order for over a year. Talked to customer service about it. They say "sorry, we're really busy and we're doing the best we can." Three times they gave me a build-date for what I have ordered, but...

    Thanks guys. They're sending me a label. I love the gun though, can't wait to get it back.

    New 686P divot in cylinder?

    Thanks for that. I wanted to hear from somebody with a 686P. It's going back.
