    Model 10, Current Smith&Wesson reblue vs leave alone?

    Hello all, havent posted in quite a while but finally have a worthy question! Ive got a, roughly, 1974 3" Model 10-5 that I was thinking of getting refinished. The current finish looks bad. Many holster worn spots, and lots of scratches and little flecks of brown throughout. Mechanically...

    Count your projectiles.....

    I just received my order from Precision Reloading for 4000 55gr Hornady FMJ BT bullets. It is at least 130 short. They sent two boxes marked 2000 each. I counted the entirety of one and am 66 short of 2k. Weighing each box, I get an identical number, meaning that most likely the other box...

    686+ 3" holster options?

    Hi all. Ive been on a search for a simple not too expensive holster to carry my 686. There are plenty of holsters for 4" models, and I have one. But I dont see to many inexpensive holsters (or used) for the 3" bbl models. Heck, Id even take a 2.5" bbl model too, and let the other 1/2" hang...

    Primer info in manuals?

    Hi all. Id rather ask a dumb question than have a major problem, so here goes. I keep seeing people mention primer type along with powder with regard to loads in manuals. The manuals I have dont mention primer type. Am I just missing it somewhere? Ive got hard copies of the Lee Modern...

    New 686+ 3" has to go back to Smith & Wesson

    You know, I havent bought a brand new gun in a while. Most of my stuff is used, and thats fine, but its nice every now and then to get a new one....except when you have to turn right around and send it back to the manufacturer because they cant seem to get the barrel on straight. Its not off...

    7 shot Safariland petition?

    Hi all. Just got to wondering, since Ive been searching for a 686+, why Safariland doesnt make a 7 shot speedloader for those of us with the 7 shot revolvers. Maybe someone has already done it, but I was wondering if enough of us got together and asked, or rather expressed our sincere intent...

    Availabilty of 686 3" and other possibilities?

    Hi all. Just wondering a couple things. Lets say I backordered a 686+ 3" somewhere. How long could I expect to wait for one? With regard to warranty, would it be wise to buy a used one in like new condition? Are there any other options for a 3" 6-7 shot revolver? Thanks!

    Former and hopefully soon to be S&W owner from IN

    Hi all. Used to own a 4" 66 but like a DA, I sold it to a friend who promptly sold it for more than he paid me. Not much of a friend really... Anyway, after missing my 66 for a while I bought a 4" GP100. Nice gun, but its no Smith. I suppose there are more than just functional reasons we...
