    New owner 686-4 Plus Any instructions?

    I made it to the range tonight night and I'm happy to report that shooting this 686-6 is delightful... I started with .38 130 grain ammo and it shot so mildly, not much of recoil, I think less than my 9mm M&P... Then I moved to .357 120 gr ammo and that is where I felt the rush, again the...

    New owner 686-4 Plus Any instructions?

    After doing some research here I finally purchased a brandnew 686-6, 4" Plus. :) It looks and feels awesome. This is my first revolver and a keeper. It came factory dirty so I will try to remove from Lead and polish it. I bought some .38 and .357 ammo, and watched some Youtube regarding...

    M&P PerformanceCenter CORE - Sights Upgrade?

    So even if I replace the ported barrel for a non ported barrel, will still be out of IDPA compliant? I read the rules book and it mentions ported barrel. I just ordered a non ported barrel, but now I'm still doubtful.

    M&P PerformanceCenter CORE - Sights Upgrade?

    I'm starting on IDPA matches where Ported Barrel and Red Dot sights are not allowed so I've been forced to un-customize my gun, but I'm finding that the White painted dots on the iron sights are not as visible as Red or Green optic sights. What do you guys recommend, is there a specific...

    New 686 plus owner

    I'm also a new owner of a brandnew 686-4 Plus, wondering about the dirty look trigger and hammer. The sales person told me that is the new way revolvers come from S&W, and that was it. Maybe they have been harden with a different coating so they last longer....

    Which 686 To Buy??

    I just purchased the 686-4" Plus, today after debating between used and Ruger, I went to Lous Police Supply in Miami and asked and they had only 1 in stock for $789 (they first scanned the box at $680 but seemed that was their cost).. The 686 Plus seem so sweet and now I gotta wait a week to...

    Chance to get a 681-2

    Guys, I'm also looking into a 681-2 for $550 at a pawn shop, it looks good, it feels a little stiff when ejecting the chamber, so hopefully it is because it not abused? Is that a reasonable price, and can I upgrade/replace the grips and maybe mount a sight and improve the front sight with...

    Burris FastFire II on M&P Performance Center C.O.R.E.

    Only the FFII cowitness due to being very low profile, but it is a pain when adjusting the zero for the first time because the rear iron sight obstruct the access to the screws,but honestly once you start shooting with it, you forget about the iron sights, only follow the red dot..:cool:

    Red dot of choice for CORE

    I put the Burris FastFireII, it can cowitness, but at first zeroing is a bitch because the rear iron sight is on the way of the adjusting screws, but once zero is all done, the 4-dot MOS is big enough and easy to follow and for less than $200 is awesome. I'd rather put the money to save for my...

    C.O.R.E 9mm Pistol Rear Sight Removal?

    I'm wondering if anyone has been able to remove the rear iron sight? and how? There is a screw on top of the sight which I was able to remove with the Allen key that came in the kit, but the sight though it seems to be detached, but I can't remove it. :confused:

    S&W 686 -- Which Barrel?

    I'm too deciding about the best all-around revolver mostly for fun at the shooting range, but also home protection.. 686 4" vs 625 4" .45 I enjoy shooting my 9mm M&P P.C. Core 4.25" but love revolvers, the cylinder, the power, the look etc. I probably will mount a sight or scope or improve it...

    Got DENIED purchase of a gun today, anyone else had this happen and appeal?

    I had a "Conditional Approval" from Miami, FL. Keep in mind that it is the State Police Department who conducts the background checks, and I know they are super busy. My recommendation: (1) Call them, with your confirmation number from the gun store and have them tell you why (2) Do your own...

    Burris FastFire II on M&P Performance Center C.O.R.E.

    Well if anybody cares to read this post and if not too old. I finally got my CORE 9mm setup with the Burris FastFire II, after doing the research. I'm very please with the accuracy, but it did take some time in adjusting the red dot, and it does cowitness with the iron sights, but at the end...

    Burris FastFire II on M&P Performance Center C.O.R.E.

    Thanks for the reply. You're right, it does seem to take a few seconds to capture the light, Yeah it took me a little while to zero the sight and I think that I finally got it zero in. It its a hassle because since there is no room to unscrew the adjusting screws, the sight must be removed...
