I have yet to purchase a gun I'm willing to sell. If I wanted to sell,I'd make sure to keep it in the family with the option to buy back.

Ok , guys.. I finally bought one. I held out and got the one I wanted. I've passed up a lot of ones with key holes and earlier model 60s. Eric , all the 60-9s must be floating around in Illinois with you, cause they are not easy to find my friend.. It's been 2 long years of lurking around...

Sully, i hear the trigger pull is lightened slightly on the ladysmiths. To appeal to the ladies. Is that true? If they are prelock as well, i would buy one of those. I would just blast the "ladysmith" off the side so i didnt have to tell everyone it was my wifes gun.

I have a stainless 686-4 snubbie i love dearly, but usaully sits on the night stand. The 60-9 seems to be very close in features and overall beauty. Looks alot more comfortable to carry though. I have passed up a few 637s,642s, and model 60s in 38 waiting with my fingers crossed for a -9. There...

Does anyone know where one is for sale near norfolk va?

Like the title says, how many model 60-9 were produced? Does anyone know how many are out there?

Is the local trade board here on this site? Which do you use?

Does anyone know how many model 60-9 were produced?

I was wondering how rare is the model 60-9 in 357? I am compelled to buy one and search armslist often. There is only 3 in the usa for sale on armslist right now. One of them is a 4 hour drive for me. I havent had the time to search all my local gun shops and havent been to a gun show since i...

Good point. The are cheap enough, I can experiment with both.

OK thanks.. so I should take a little screw driver with me to the range in case I need to adjust......should I get speed loaders or speed strips?

Thanks for all the quick info guys. You all are awesome.

The rear sights on this look off centered. Like i said i havent got a chance to shoot it yet so i cant say they are off.Would they have come from the factory like this? It doesnt have any heavy nicks like it has been dropped. I can upload a picture if you need a visual . The guy i bought it from...

I'm doing a lot of reading up hear guys. This is a great site. From what I'm reading people are saying a -4 is pretty desirable and a lot of people would prefer it over a new smith. Does that mean it's worth as much or more than a new one? I seen a new one for $829 on s&w site

Someone said you can dry fire and achieve same results as a trigger job. How many times would you have to do that? And should I keep the hammer from slamming hard into the frame?

I also read that the discoloration on the forged hammer and trigger is a heat treatment. Is that a desirable look/ patina ? If I polish it off would it loose the strength the heat treatment was done for? I have lots of time on my hands with all this snow.

I was thinking about doing a little bit of work on this gun. Tell me what you guys think, or what you would do with it. I was thinking of polishing off the light scratches with some " mothers mag polish" I had laying around. I prefer the brushed stainless look, but I wanna get those scratches...

And in my reading, looking up these numbers, I read something about a recall where they do some kind of mod and stamp a "M" on it. Does mine need this mod?

Questions is what are the numbers engraved on the yoke arm. The pic is kinda fuzzy, but it reads "262". Nobody I asked seems to know. And also, what the year of manufacture be if my serial number is BRK1200?

Hello, this is my first post here. I just bought my first revolver. I got it off armslist for $600 (was that a OK deal?) It's a smith and wesson 686-4 , 2 1/2" barrel . I haven't got a chance to hear this puppy bark yet, but I can already tell I love it. A lot different from my polymer...
