Finally made it out to shoot my new 686+. All I can say is wow. The trigger pull, especially in SA is outstanding. Great accuracy that I'm sure will get better the more I shoot it. Love the fit and finish, especially the look and feel of the wood grips. Had to take the shield 9mm along also.

Congrats on you new 686!!!!

The first and only time I shot my 686-6 was at a paper plate at 100 ft with .357 loads.

The results were less than impressive. :D

I just picked up another 686 with a high patridge front sight and a Millet rear sight and a 2lb trigger.

I am really looking forward to shooting this one.

We all like to see pictures of new, and newly acquired, Smith & Wessons! :):D:)
 
I have a 686+ 5". It is probably my favorite gun I have. Shoots smooth and built like a tank!

Yes, I think the Model 686 is the most popular revolver, nothing scientific, just my observation. May it serve you and your heirs well. Now you "have to" get a Model 586 if you do not have one.
 
I tried to post a picture but the site wouldn't allow me to.

This was my first 686, its a -6 and was a limited issue "Stocking Dealer Exclusive". I believe there were fewer than 400 of these made.



I just picked up this 686. I'm really looking forward to shooting this one. :D
