686-0 Back from the custom shop

I shot it today. Shoots as nice as it looks.

Great looking gun, I am a big fan of these.

Looks great and S&W did you right! I too would dress it up with a new set of grips. I love Ahrends myself. Them L frames are excellent revolvers and yours should never visit the shop again if you take good care of it.

Gorgeous! Now you have me jones to send my "no dash" in for some work

Nice looking Revolver! I think my 686-3 needs the exact same treatment as yours.

There was a box waiting for me this afternoon. It went back to S&W on March 17th, and was delivered back on May 13th:

I am completely happy with the results. Looks great, nice tight action, and they definately worked on the trigger, which wasn't part of the work request. Not bad for a 27 year-old revolver! Now I have to decide if I want new grips.

I have bought two 681 no dashs and they both had the "M" update. They have the best triggers of any S&W I have owned. Like yours I suspect the trigger work was performed when the update was done. I bought both used with the M stamped on them. The new finish on yours looks great.

A nice gun, that you can be confident is "right." I have sent several older revolvers in, some not that old, that had some questionable things about them-no more questions. Even if I want some specific work done, I generally ask them to check out the whole gun while they have it. In many cases, I ask them to chamfer the cylinder, as it is already there, and costs only 30 bucks at S&W. Makes for nice loading. I am very pleased with the work that they do. I would rather have an old one that they have gone over, than a new one. I get the feeling that they like to get an oldie to work on! Flapjack.
