686 357mag 6'' UNIVERSAL CHAMPION

[Maddrifter]

Hello guys, i found the said gun at a bargain price, but it's an unknown model (to me). Is it a Performance center model? is it good for standing, no rest, shooting? what's the difference compared to standard and "regular" PC one?

First, I assume that you mean .357. I believe that this is not a Smith meant for domestic consumption. Most likely a European model from Wischo. Would be interesting to have, but not being familiar with it, I have no idea how to place a value. Will require more research.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

Looks like it's identical to the Performance Center "Competitor".

I don't own the "Competitor" model, but it should be good for whatever you would want to do with a 6" .357. I'm very happy with my 686's.

Here is the S&W competition shooter, shooting a "Competitor".
