686 picture thread

[H Richard]

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.

Adding a couple of more photos of the pre-lock 686SSR no-dash.

Okay...nobody is challenging me on the description.

My 686-3 Bar B Que only gun. A Mr. Davis spent quite a bit of time working on this one I believe. Anyone know of Mr. Davis?

Thank you sir. Your's is very nice also. I can draw it but I wouldn't know where to start putting it on metal. Ray said it takes years to learn how.

I didn't see a Mr. Davis here: Firearms Engravers Guild of America Home Page

Thats a beauty. Wish I could afford to get that done to mine. I would like to get it engraved to commemorate the friend who left it to me.

 

[Palmetto Sharpshooter]

Thank you very much sir. It is still a good shooter.

One day my little girl or her kids will get it.

Where are the pictures?

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.

My S&W 686-4 2,5"

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...
