Congrats to our S&W 686 Winner!

[SWF Staff]

Well, if you didn't catch it, our latest winner, @jdlii, claimed a brand new 686!

I boxed it up myself and shipped it off to his FFL, but not before snapping a few photos.

Big thanks to everyone who entered! I can't wait to see what we give away next time.

So please join me in congratulating @jdlii and let us know in the comments what you'd love to see in the next giveaway. We're all ears.

I know someone in TN who is looking forward to receiving that beautiful 686, me!!!!!!

Here's a thought...give away something (doesn't have to be a gun) to anyone that becomes a supporting member as a condition for entry...shouldn't be too difficult to keep track of who upgrades immediately before entering.

I appreciate all of the congratulations. The 686 was delivered to my LGS on Monday and was recovered yesterday.

What a great looking revolver. I will have to do a comparison and check the weight but, it seems to be heavier than a pre lock 686. The grips, while not the wooden grips a lot of us a used to, are extremely comfortable.

It needed a good cleaning since powder residue was showing it places but, it cleaned up nicely. The single action phase of the trigger is not bad and in double action, it is a little stiff but, hey it's NEW!

I will post a range report soon.

THANKS SMITH & WESSON FORUM!!!

Thanks for the responses. Here the beauty is, currently wearing a set of Ahrends that I rediscovered in my grip box. Additional surgery is planned.
