That's exactly the predicament I was in. Half knowing I would regret, half knowing I was getting a premium price for it. I see it this way now. I love the gun and in 3-5 years will be worth the 850 I was going to get for it today. I hope anyway.

Decision made! I'm keeping it! I let go of a very nice model 36 years ago and still regret it, I did not want to repeat occurrence. I have little money into this gun and coupled with the beauty of it, it's staying with me. Thank you all who had great input and suggestions, as always I...

What makes the 4" better? Is it increasing in value more?

I enjoy looking at the gun, shot it a few times and is a sweet shooter but I feel remorseful thinking of parting with it and mainly due to the fact I don't know what I would fill it's shoes with. a 686-4 4" does sound nice. Could I pull one in with the $850?

I have a problem! I own a very nice 686-1 6" Smith. It's about 95%+ mint. I landed this beauty with a strike of luck on Armslist from a man who was the original owner and was looking for a 1911, well I had one (cough cough, a Taurus) and he wanted to trade for it and of course I did. I have...

Just acquired, 686-1 1986 6" Believe I just traded a Taurus 1911 for this beauty?

Sorry about the locked photos, just noticed :o . Here are the shots. I regretfully sold this last year. I shot it a few times and took an offer of $450 for it.

I had a 36, dash, J frame. It was in very good condition, a forum member said high 90% mint. I sold it for $450. It was blued, diamond grip.

Glad I got a "win"! I guess this should have been posted in the 1980 to present forum...... So will a polish detract from value?

Hi Guys, Ever since I sold my model 36 (Which was beautiful) I regretted it. I do a lot of bartering and just ended up trading my Taurus 1911 for a 6" 686-1. She is a beauty as well, I'm overly picky and would say it's in 95% new condition. Original wood grips are mint but the gun does has...

Very nice Jim. This is my first revolver, 2nd pistol and I already have an attachment to it. Not to mention I haven't even shot it yet since I just acquired it yesterday. From what I have read I should be enjoying it even more so. I very much so appreciate your answer and time to reply...

Interesting though I hope the gun is not mismatched but with that information put together it seems possible. Let's see what the experts think. Thanks Moe!

Hello Everyone, I acquired a Smith and Wesson .38 Special today. It seems to be in pretty nice shape. I'm trying to determine the year as I'm not able to locate other serial numbers that start with 219xxx. In the inside is shows as MOD-36 along with other letters and number on the inside as...
