686 picture thread

[Helderberg]

This is my only 686 but - it is mine. Fantastic gun and fantastic photo thread. Thank you all for the beautiful photo's of your 686's. I truly believe it is one of the best revolvers ever produced.
Be safe all, Frank.

I cannot add to the "kudos" these 686's receive. The one I bought in 1993 new w/6" is not "For Sale" nuff said.

Replacment!

Here's my 686, no dash. It's with my grandson in Kennewick, WA, now!

Here's the one I bought to replace the one that went to Washington state! Good shooter!
I put the smooth targets on it.

Still my all time favorite hand gun. The 686 is just a pure classic, I'm always on the look out for another even though I have two.

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.

This is a great thread!

Love a 686, especially those 2.5's

Well, I just had to add mine. A nice six-inch dash 2. I've had it for about a month or so, I think. One of my favorite revolvers too.

My 686+ pair turned into a trio today. Made a routine stop at one of the gun stores on the way home and someone had just traded this one in. I thought the $575 price tag was reasonable, and was further enabled when the guy told me he could do $550...and a few hours later it was on my bench. It hasn't seen much use. I think I gave it the first real cleaning it had ever had. Seeing it all cleaned up put a smile on my face.

My pair of pluses.

What model is the one with the tapered barrel? I've never seen a 4" 686 with one.

Three of mine.

Great Thread, enjoy looking at all these beautiful 686's ... I'll add 2. One is my 686-4 in 4" and my latest addition is my 686-3 in 2.5" .. Really enjoy them L Frames.

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'...

I ain't big in size or hands and I love my 686-3 w/Hogues and find no problem with my baby bought new in 93'. It is bulldozer tough...

Oh, and the last one "they'll" get BTW...
