686 picture thread

[C/O]

Since there seems to be a lot of love for the 686 I thought it would be great to have a thread that is dedicated to them. So share pictures of yours here.

My 686 (no dash), is by far my favorite handgun.

If there is another thread for this, the mods can delete this one. I tried the search, but did not see one.

I have seven, but the photo limit is five. In order, they are a 4" -4, a 6" no-dash, a 6" unfluted -3, a 6" PowerPort -3 and a second 6" no-dash with a Millet rear sight. I also have a 6" PowerPort -5 and a 6" -3.

I really like 686s but for informal target shooting, I prefer my 66s

My 686P-6 - Although it has the dreaded IL, it's still a nice gun.

Perfect timing, I just bought a 4" 686-1 at lunch today. I'll have to get some pictures of it when I get home!

I bought this 686 no dash in 1982, my first brand new S&W revolver. My Dad made this custom presentation box for it and gave it to me for Christmas that year.

Hammerdown, this must be our lucky day I also found a nice 4" 686-1 and brought it home today. Pictures later.

686-1 6" No Lock.

Do any of you find the 6" barrel-heavy? Mine is kind of new to me and sometimes I wish I'd found a 4" no lock...

Of course I don't feel that way when I'm hitting good patterns at 75'...

National Match version, 5" barrel, circa 1989, 1 of 500, supposedly the result of a collaboration with Bill Davis, product code 104254.

M686-1

Here is my M686-1 6" with the original grips. What an awesome gun. I love shooting it even with full .357 loads.

686-5 Plus, my current carry fave. At my feet at work as I type this as a matter of fact

No longer own this one, another -5 Plus, but in 2.5".

I'm glad I get to post the first 686-6 Plus Pro Series with a 5" bbl on here! So far I love this gun, after some calibration it's shooting like a champ. Doesnt hurt that its factory cut for moon clips either. I don't mind the Hogue monogrip, it fits nicely and seems practical, but i might get some wood grips soon for looks .
