686 picture thread

VERY NICE THREAD.

I am supprised that there have been no blued 686's. I will have to learn to post pics and show off some of my L frames.

Again, VERY NICE THREAD. I have more rounds downrange with a 686 than all other guns and rifles I have combined.

I will be back,

There were... the 586 ;-)

There were some black 686s.

There were some black 686s.

A stainless 586 exists, at least one, I've seen it. Clearly stainless, not some sort of nickelplate, but it was marked 586 nevertheless.

 

[HappyHunter]

There where about 2800 "blued stainless" 686 guns out there. The finish is called midnight black.

When I have time I will figure out how to post pics and show you a 4 inch and a 6 inch midnight black 686. Plus a few others.

686-6

I fired 12 rounds out of this gun yesterday. It is brand new and is now my favorite pistol. The single action pull is a bit more than my customized model 19 but its still enjoyable for accuracy. Very smooth action......Highly recommend this for all kinds of shooting

Here is my 4" 686 no dash marked on the left side,Oakland P.D.

I have the sibling to this 686 no dash marked Oakland P.D. as well.I wonder how many there are floating around?Nice!

I would have like to show a picture of my 686 first run four inch. It's had over 30,000 rounds of .38 Spl and 3,000 rounds of .357 through it. As it was my duty gun it has taken a beating over the years so it's shy now and doesn't like pictures of it being taken and besides I no longer own it. My wife does and she won't let me shoot it anymore.(sigh)

Ok no ones posted one of these yet. I just picked it up Wednesday and shot it Thursday. Sweet. Talo 686+ 3".

 

[KCOG]

Bought this 4" CS1 yesterday.

 

[Big'un]

Been posted before, but since this is a 686 thread.This is one of my favorite revolvers, the 686-2 again.

 

[ghitch75]

2 -4's....6"....4"..

 

[GJH77]

My most recent addition. My only 686, a no dash, 6" barrel.

OK - now that I've got a 686-1M 6" and a 686-2 4", I'll post some photos. But question: why are none of the 6" 686's sporting red dot sights? I'm thinking about a Weigand mount and a Burris Fastfire II for my 56 year-old eyes. If off-topic, I apologize.

Just got it back from being drilled and tapped. Here it is, in a group shot of my revolvers. I'm thinking now about having a plate made to replace the weaver mount of the Burris Fastfire 2 that can be screwed directly into the S&W frame holes, to lower the red dot. Any suggestions?

 

[C/O]

That is not off topic. I guess those that have posted their pics just don't have any set up that way. Feel free to post your 686 with red dot sights, I look forward to seeing them.

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".

What holster are you using to carry the 4"?

 

[exfebee]

The S&W 686 will live on forever. It doesn't fail to feed, it doesn't fail to eject, no magazines to worry about. Don't need to polish the ramp, nor be concerned about getting sliced when the slide comes back. Shoots about anything. Nine pages so far of outstanding 686s. Keep 'er flowing guys. My 686-4 snubby.

My dad's no dash, "M" stamped 4", box, tools, all papers, even the receipt from when he bought it new. Tuned and matte finished by Frank Glenn years ago. Now lives with my older son.
