    586 No Dash, No "M", No Problem

    I'd be curious to see pics of the misfires. Most I've seen for this gun were way off center. Is it all from DA or SA or both? I have seen a lot of revolver misfires from "staging" in DA. Have you run the lock key back and forth to make sure it's not partially engaged? Have you tried a different...

    trouble ejecting spent shells out of cylinder on my 686

    I remember reading in my revolver book that you should clean the cylinder holes with a brush one size up from the gun caliber. I use a .40 cal brush to clean the cylinders in my 686+.

    586 No Dash, No "M", No Problem

    I have run over two hundred rounds - mostly .357 but some .38 special too and roughly 50/50 SA/DA, through my new 686+ and haven't had one misfire yet.

    Pics of my 586/686 pair

    Very nice. I have pretty much the same set but in 4" bbls. Might enjoy the 586 more than the 686.

    New or used 686

    I can tell you that the average FFL I've found here is $45. The sad part is that we in MD pay more for what everyone else gets for a reasonable price.

    New or used 686

    You may be able to buy that 686 for $662, but once you add the FFL transfer fee you're pretty close to the in-state price. And the 686+ is a little more, which makes the $720 I paid pretty reasonable. Also, prices everywhere are up because the gun manufacturers can't keep up, but especially in...

    New or used 686

    +1 on the pre-lock. I saw a pre-lock 686+ 6" at a show in MD for $650 but bought a new 4" 686+ for $720 instead. I like the new one, but I've heard of several lockups from the internal lock.

    First S&W, first revolver, new 686 6"

    Just took possession of a new 686+ 4" a couple of weeks ago and love it. Can't say I've noticed a canted barrel but the first thing I'm going to do when I get home is check it out. Love the action. Way smooth in SA with a really light trigger. Not nearly as notchy as the GP100 in DA. The stock...
