Beautiful M686! But I am wondering, will you buy any new Smiths in the future? lol Sorry you had trouble with the newer stuff. Glad you have one now that should be trouble free!

686
Nice, I just brought one home today. The 686 seems to be a quality piece especially the older ones. When was yours made? Congrats on a nice example!

Mine too! ABS serial number and a stamp on inside of my original target grips that came with the gun show September 1983. Nice 686 you have there.
Here's mine.

You gotta love the 686s! I have two 4" "no dash" models. One is a LNIB safe queen. The other is a VERY NICE shooter. The very first handgun I ever purchased with my own money was a 4" 686 no dash. Unfortunately, shortly after buying it I fell on some hard times. I had to sell it. I swore I'd have another some day, never thought I'd have two.

I sorta have a 4" 686-1 Power Custom Combat with a Clark Moon Clip Conversion. The wife has had it taken over for her house gun for years. She lets me see it, and clean it once in a while.
You did very well. It looks new. It does need a set of Ahrends grips to finish it off. My choice would probably be Retro Combats in Moradillo.
Enjoy your find.
Bob

I picked up a 686 no dash recently. I just couldn't pass it up for the price.
