Out of all the guns you had to choose from, you had to choose the best one for your first ............................ now what will you do?
I guess that's a good thing, and a bad thing lol

You will never be sorry you got a 686.
IMO that is one of the finest revolvers ever made.
Now you need to start looking into casting and reloading if you aren't already.

Wonderful choice! I'm itching to get mine soon. There is nothing better than a 686 imo. Grab some nice wood grips now and you'll be set!

Be careful, they will grow on you.
Yep, next you'll be eyeing up those sweet 2 1/2 inch snubbies. Then you could carry it everyday, eh! Nice thoughts...
Maybe 6 rounds, maybe 7 or....the brand new Performance Center 2 1/2 inch model. Wooe! Ain't gun love nice wid a 686.
Most lovers of the 686 would agree that the king of 686s is your four inch model. Ya done good.

Great choice...think most have already posted excellent replies already. I too recently joined the ranks of 686 ownership. I have to say it's a beautiful piece of workmanship and I don't know if I got super lucky but my 686 is as near perfect, finish wise, as I can tell. In fact a friend remarked it almost felt like it had been dehorned. I have already swaped out the grips to Arhend combats round butts. Really stepped up the looks for me. Very comfortable in the hand and the balance of the 4.2" just feels right no matter if its .38s or .357
heading down range. Enjoy.
Funnily my other HG is a Glock 17, swapping between them at the range is a lot of fun.

Revolver rivival
My son just turned of age for me to get back into shooting (no guns at home up to a certain age agreement with mom). I took out my Model 36 (c.1959) chief special and introduced it to him. Also had a Ruger MKII .22 for him to learn. He loved the Chief Special, especially double action. So we set out to research and start "our" collection. Well guess what the prize winner was, a 686 3in to start the show. Your advise and words have confirmed what I believe to be one of the best revovlers out there. New to the Forum, and am looking forward for the experience on S&W.
By the way, I picked up a 5906 to train him on an automaitc.

Well now, that's a great pair of Smiths to have fun with PJThomas. I also have that set, and I've always thought they have a lot in common. Similar weight and heft with all that steel and the double stack grip of the 5906. They both take all you can feed them with no complaints. Great choice - enjoy.
