686 appreciation post

I too like the 686. My meager collection:


CS-1


2.5 inch


And now for something different:

I quite like the platform. One of my sweetest shorts is a no dash 6" 586. And that full underlug gives it a badass look.

I don't prefer L frames over K and N. I enjoy each for their respective merits.

If I could only have one revolver, it would probably be a 4" model 19/66. But if all I owned was a 686, I wouldn't be sad about it.

One of the fun things about the S&W revolver line is that the whole spectrum of preferences are available.

Here's one I bought in 1984., grip by Hogue, fit to the gun by Guy Hogue himself.

Alright here are mine:

686-5 in 6"
686-6 in 3"

Both are wearing Ahrends grips, XS night sights, and stainless H/T (swapped out the MIM).

Although my first revolver and duty gun was a 4" 686-1, my interest has been with the 2.5".

The snub 686 is just so aesthetically pleasing. My Grail gun is a 686-3 snub and I'll never sell it. It is as practical as it is beautiful.
