New Pants

Was there a THREE inch 686 with a shorter ejector shroud?

I was lucky enough to pick this 686-6 up off Freeman W a forum member.
I just picked up some new grips today.
They feel great.
There is a photo of my old Rodgers / Safariland grips , they felt better than they looked.
The 3 inch with my Altamont boot grips did not work for me. The gun was too muzzle heavy for my taste. Maybe I will put them on a K frame snub.
S&W custom shop made by Alamont. $40 was a steal. I offered $50
As much as I like this 3 inch I sure would like a 27-2 in 3 1/2
I will keep looking.

Mine is wearing Altamont boot grips. Going to switch them out for combats and still undecided on meprolights or not.

Since I just received two "likes" on photos I posted to this thread some time ago, I thought I would update my 686 family, which has shrunken in quantity but improved in quality.

The first two were in my old photo. The one on the right is an unfired 6" -4 PowerPort and it is flanked by a possibly unfired 6" -3 Classic Hunter. In the middle are a 5" -3 National Match and a 4" -3, the only two I use. The NM is my bullseye gun and I carry the 4" while in the woods in case I encounter a creepy crawly critter seeking a warm pants leg to slither up.

I apologize for the imported stocks on the NM - a have a nice set of checkered targets for it but the ones on it are a lot more comfortable to use.

I swapped the 4" -4 in my earlier photo for the 4" -3 (I'm a square butt guy) and sold the others for offers I couldn't refuse, one of the nice results of buying quality guns. As stated earlier, I like Model 66s better so parting with a couple of 686s wasn't too painful.

I guess this is a thread that will live forever. Here's my 4" 686 no dash.

I only have 4 Smith wheel guns, but here are 3 of them. All are 686-4's. The 6" is a + model. The 2.5 is highly polished but the pic kinda washes it out. Nice shooting guns.

This is my 686 no dash...paired it up with a Rossi M92 SS in .357... A great pair don't you think?

You can't post pictures like that and not tell us about the leather!!

 

[bigshep85]

Thought I'd post an update on my 3" Talo 357.

That's my 686-4 Target Champion with 6" barrel.
Fixed the Nill grips a few days ago.

This thread made me think about my own 686. Got it out, gave it a little cleaning and posed it for a couple pics.

[S&W Fan]

The 4" is a no dash from 1981 my dad bought new, the 2.5" is a no dash Lew Horton from 1984.

 

[bemisgt]

Here's my only one so far.

 

[loveaffair#686]

This is my most recent. It's a 686-5 6", prelock, and 7 shots, a combination I had been seeking for a while. So I think it's pretty cool!
