686 7 Shot No Lock???

686-4 Plus, PC model:
So, they're out there
I'd look for a "686+" or "686 Plus" if I was looking for the 7 shooter in particular. That said, I have other 6 shot L frames, and I don't really feel like I am giving up much, if anything, with them.

maustypsu,
As 2hawk has so amply demonstrated (very nice 2hawk), no lock 7 shot 686's are out there. In fact I have 2 of them, a full-lugged 4" bbl. 686+ and a 686+ Mountain gun.
In fact, I have been toying with the idea of selling the full-lug gun (since I'm new and this is my first post, can I say that?).

I have a 686+ no-lock in a 4" Mountain Gun, but those are VERY hard to find as few were made before they started putting the lock on. Mine came straight from the factory to my door as a replacement for a 586 that had a warranty issue they could not fix. Last revolver I would sell.

I have a 686 Plus (7 shot) 4" without the lock. It is a 686-4.

I also was looking for a no lock S&W revolver (Model 649). I found a couple on Gun Broker but the dealer was asking too much. I don't mind too much about the lock but just wanted to see what was out there in a no lock model with a reasonable price.

I currently have 4, 7 shot 686's without the lock. A 686 mountain gun, a 7 incher and 2 five inchers one full lug and one standard Bbl.
I have a 7 shot 686 mtn gun with no lock. Great gun.....wouldn't own one with that boat anchor lug under the barrel.

I have a 2 1/2 inch one as well. I never shoot it, but I don't want to get rid of it either. At least, not yet.

They are out there and personally I think the hardest ones to find are the 686-5 7shot 3in. Also you could do a search for 686 CS-1 also hard to find.
rrobertson,
Dang, I had a CS-1 at one time but let a friend of mine talk me out of it. Later on, I asked about buying it back, but found out he had traded it off for a Glock 19...Yes, we are still friends (once I started speaking to him again).

Not easy to find... but they are out there.
For me, the real cat's meow would be a 7-shot, 3" 681!

Sure. As long as you tell us you're planning to get something even COOLER!
Compared to the mountain gun, I can see where your 686+ 4" full lug would become trading material. Remember, if you sell it, it'll be awfully hard to Eeeeever find another one at a decent price...Here's my 4" 686-4+. Note that 'Plus' seven-shooters also come with a round butt - like this one:

Yea I wouldnt talk to him again. First off for trading it and second for a BLOCK no less. A hard to come by great piece of craftsmanship for a plastic *** you can find on any street corner for a nickle. Yes I hate glocks and most plastic/polymer ***'s but I do like the XDM's, keep in mind I only own 1 a 4.5in .45 and never use it for carry just a back up to a back up to a back up HD firearm.
So if I want a 686 no dash then I would have to get the 6 shot??? And then get the 7 in a dash -4 or -5 without a lock???
That's good info to help me narrow my search. I kind of thought my issues with find one was just like you said, that those who have them aren't selling them.

Yep. 686 no dash up until current models are made in 6 shot. The 686+ (7 shot) started in the -4. The -4 and -5 do not have a lock.
