One stays and one goes 681 vs 686

Erocksmash · Jan 9, 2020

Howdy,

I'm interested in some opinions on my..... indecision.

One has to stay and one has to go simple as that.

681 VS 686
Both are no dash no(M)

The 686(good shooters grade) shoots true has some rounds threw her(has push off

)

The 681 factory fired only, but has a buttery smooth trigger uncomparable to the 686 (weird).

Which would you keep and why?

I'm leaning towards keeping the 681 over the 686, just saying.

Thanks
Erik

I say get rid of the 681, what do you want for it?

I would keep the 686 for sure. Adjustable sights and target stocks, easy decision for me.

Keep the 681 much harder to find than a 686.

The 686 has push off issues, so it needs work, while it sounds like the 681 is in excellent condition, and it's less common.

I'd keep the 681. You can get another 686 pretty much anywhere, but you'll regret selling a nice 681 as it will be much harder to replace.

"has push off" makes it easy for me. I'd keep the one that ain't broke. Besides, 681's are just cool.

I’d keep the 681, 686s are easy to replace.

I have 2 681s plan on selling one along with a 3 in 65 this weekend at local gun show the 681s i’ve owned all shoot great keep the 681

Sell 681
Send 686 back to factory for the free M mod and SW will likely tune it up at the same time.

Well if it wasn’t broken I would say the 686 is the better gun, more common or not.

But a broken 686 vs a fully functional 681? Rhetorical question, right?

Dont think I'll be selling her... send me an offer I cant refuse via PM.

Erocksmash · Jan 10, 2020

I like the 686 a lot, the 681 in that condition are hard to come by for sure, but she would get some serious work hrs in.... maybe I'll fix the 686 and run with her put the 681 back up!?!?

Hey, what happened to "one has to go?"

Great plan on fixing the 686.

BAM-BAM · Jan 10, 2020

What purpose will the one you keep serve??????

Target/range shooting = 686
Woods carry= 686
Home Defense= 681
Concealed Carry= 681

Well guess your decision to keep both was a good one!

OLDSTER · Jan 10, 2020

Definitely keep the 686.

Erocksmash · Jan 10, 2020

Aside from targets, which can be added to the 681, adjustable sights, which I feel wouldn't matter if you find a cartrage that hits POI to your liking ? They are exactly the same no ?
