686 picture thread

I bought this one in 1984, slightly used. Had it when they announced the recall, and sent it to my friend Mike Stuckschlager in Great Falls to do the modification. Came back with a sweet trigger job. I have since polished out the trigger serrations for a smooth trigger. Shot PPC with it quite a bit. Still one of my favorite and most accurate revolvers.

Beautiful Palmetto, just beautiful. I wish I could just do that sort of thing on a piece of paper!!!!!

Heck no on the too heavy M3Stuart. Stick with her and with practice I think you will start to embrace the extra heft, as well as the extra 2" of sight radius. She is one sweet piece.
 
A 3" 686 is on my short list.

I saw a 686 Plus Talo Edition for sale on another forum several months ago, and I made a deal with the seller. Beautiful revolver with the non-fluted cylinder. The day before we were to meet for the transfer, he discovered that the barrel was slightly cocked to one side, so he told me he was sending it back to S&W for repair. When he got it back, he decided to keep it. :(

It was the one that got away...
