Default Model 686 Perfection

...at least in my opinion. 686-6 full lug, seven-shot unfluted cylinder, 5 inch barrel, Hamilton Bowen rear sight, Karl Nill custom grips, tuned and finished by Grant Cunningham. Product Code 150181, shipped February, 2007. Perfect balance and fits like a glove.

If it weren't for the frosted finish, 7-shot unfluted cylinder, and those grips...

I'm kidding, you have a very nice revolver!

Those grips are a bit "disco" for me but that is a very nice revolver. Congrats on a beautiful weapon!

From the angle in the photo, that sight looks a lot like the old Millett sight.

Hmmm... I like the way those blue laminated grips go with the SS finish of the gun. The various L frames are my favorite .357's.

Especially like the laminated blue grips as it kinda gives it a modern look, but IMO a set of S&W grip medallions would really make them "POP" .
