EXPENSIVE GUN STORE VISIT 686-4

[Jerryatric3]

Went to my local gun store yesterday to buy a 340 M&P for pocket carry. AFTER I paid for it and did the paperwork he says "look at what just came in". Two and a half inch 686-4, pristine and with a Galco pancake holster (no box though). $650 cash out the door. Unfortunately my bank is on the way home....."I need $650 cash please." Back to the shop. Impulse purchase....did I do OK??

I paid $600 for mine in NY state, the last one I saw was at $700+. I had mine tuned, and it is my favorite cary gun in the cooler weather.

You did very good!. Thats a beauty and at that price I would have bought it too.

Can't tell if you got a good deal. It only has one side to it.

It's hard to go wrong with a 686. And the price is fair, especially with the combat stocks. It would have been an even better deal if it were the seven shot version of the -4. Well done.

in the cleveland ohio area gun shows there on tables for 1k

Very well bought. Used 686-6's in that barrel length go for $650, so getting the last of the forged internals -4, with combat stocks for that price OTD is very good indeed.

WOW! I would have lifted that just for the grips. Those really something. You get an A+++ on that acquisition.

 

[rwsmith]

You did from good to really good...

I think that's a darn good price these days. To some people it's a nice gun, to others, it's a 686-4 2 1/2" and they will pay to get one.

You know you did good, and with Combats!!!!! Let us know what you think after a range trip.

 

[stainless686fan]

Very Good. I would have been all over that one in a heartbeat. You did good

 

[okiegtrider]

Yea, ya done good alright.

This is one of those guns I'd really like to have myself. Seems like a couple threads have shown up lately with the 686 snubby. Congrats! Great acquisition!

 

[rock doc]

Yes, you done good!! That deal was too hard to pass up.

Mine 686-4 is tuned and gorgeous and bought years ago - okay, it's a + so it's a 7 shot but, still, too close to matter. Fabulous guns. That's why I have a 3" and a 4" as well, but they are later dashes with the IL, which does bug some folks. What I paid for the later two is far more than what I paid for the dash 4 oh so many years ago......

I tried to just show the 2.5" with the rosewood grips, clicked the other gun in error, and I can't delete it. Sorry.

I will likely pay $800 for a new 686 in the near future and be happy about it. Congratulations!

 

[Jerryatric3]

Thanks

Impulse buy but from all the input seems like it was a good impulse. Didn't really need another 686 but it does round out the 357 stable. Thanks for making me feel good about going back for it.....

You did better than good!
In my neighborhood you'd have to add another $100 to make it yours.
I'd have bought that in a heart beat for that price.

 

[revolver686]

That's a beauty.
I paid $500 for my 686-4 snubbie, but that was a few years ago. It didn't come with such nice stocks either.

You got ripped off. However you can send it to me and I'll give you all your money back : ' )

What this thread really needs is more pics of the 686 snubby.
