686 Target Champion

[Alessandro]

Hi everybody!

I would like to know the difference between a normal 686 and this Target Champion.

What I can see: hammer, trigger and stocks (maybe the differences are only those!).


Thanks!

Aside from the stocks and the flash-chromed target trigger and hammer, it looks exactly like my no-dash 6" 686 with factory stocks and color-casehardened target trigger and hammer.

I thought those guns had unfluted cylinders and some special rollmarking on the barrel but I could be thinking of another special version.

Off hand I would say one is pretty and the other is prettier, however I don't know which is which.

Id like to know where to find stocks like that, those look comfy. Sharp pistola

It is mentioned in the S & W reference book, product code 104268, but no details mentioned aside from the sideplate laser engraving. The stocks look to be made by Karl Nill from Germany.

There are a few Europe-only export models, including a 617 Target Champion which is very different from a standard model. A "Search Site/Google" search should find you photos of these.

Looks like there is a different finish from the frame to the barrel. It could just be the lighting?

This barrel is laser engraved, and is different from the one on the complete gun in the first photo?

 

[wlp624]

Confused I am. The OP's close-up pictures of the barrel are not pictures of the gun in his first picture...

 

[Alessandro]

Yes, those photos are not of the same gun. The one I`m looking for have the grips of the first one and the barrel engaved as the second one.

The stocks on the posters 686 are wow! I can't see any side plate engraving on the 686, it could be the lighting but the 686 side plate seems to be a different hue.
