    686 Talo 5"

    I just tried to get my LGS to order one of these for me last week, and they couldn't get any from their distributors. So someone must like them (other than us)! I've got the 3" and love it.

    $875.00 - how big a mistake did I make?

    Ehhh, it's a great gun and you paid a bit too much. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it!

    Cousins? Or maybe brothers from another mother.

    Thanks! I got the 66 used a little while back, and these grips came with it. They seem sort of Altamont-ish, but I'm really not sure what they are (if anyone knows, please chime in!). I do like them, though. I have large hands and they feel pretty good...they're on the larger side. The 66...

    Picked this up yesterday...

    Cool! I kind of want one of these, just because. I guess it's nice that it can use several different types of ammo. However, the though of actually shooting any of them is...sphincter clenching. I guess .45 wouldn't be too bad...

    Aired out the S&W Etherium revolver today...

    If anyone can make a revolver float, it's Smith and Wesson. God bless America.

    Model 66 snubbies and pics

    Hi Texas Star. I've shot assorted range ammo (.38 and .357) as well as the Gold Dot .38+P Short Barrel and their .357 in both 135 and 158. The stock grips were uncomfortable to hold when firing, but the recoil itself was moderate at worst. Perhaps I was also "expecting" more recoil from a...

    Model 66 snubbies and pics

    My 66-2, 3". I was slightly surprised by the low recoil. Very nice to shoot.

    Holster for 686 3"

    Isn't that a fake plastic gun? If you're referring to the blue grips.

    Q: Any troubles with S&W internal locks?

    I've had reason to start using the IL on my revolvers that have them. I was glad to have the option. No problems. Always go bang. And I know this is heresy, but I'll say it anyway: I like the look of the lock. It looks mechanical. I dig it. I'm sorry.

    Gotta be careful where you say something like that. Gun show, good. Locker room, bad.

    Pachmayr vs. Hogue

    I've come to prefer Pachmayr grips over Hogue (though I like the Hogue bantam grips) as far as rubber grips go. The Hogue grips just feel...hollow...to me, like I'm not gripping something solid. With the Pachmayrs I feel like I'm holding onto something much more substantial/solid.

    INTERESTING NEWS CONCERNING S&W AND THE LADIES

    I picked up some SWHC last fall. It was a bit of an emotional purchase, since I (obviously) like S&W. But I also thought it might be a good time to jump in. So far, so good. Please purchase lots of S&W products, and encourage others to do the same. Thank you :p

    question: grip/stock pin for model 66

    THANK YOU! I can't believe I've been so dense. I got out some other revolvers and, of course, they have a pin. I guess I never looked closely enough to realize that it was actually an inserted pin, rather than part of the frame itself. Thanks again for your patience, everyone...and for not...

    question: grip/stock pin for model 66

    UPDATE (I'm sure you were all waiting for this :rolleyes: ) Got a new pin and put it in. Problem solved. But... Why do the two types of frames exist (with and without integral grip pin)? It seems like no type of grip would fit without the grip pin to keep the grip from sliding around at the...
