Gun shop find, 686 3''

[SC_Mike]

Hey all, I'm a newbie here so please bare with me.

Found a 686 3'' non fluted, no lock, L frame and picked it up yesterday. Adj rear sight and red front sight, bead stainless finish. CDJ serial prefix and 149137 product code. Mainly curious about it, any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Will try to post a couple pics.

HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY?

I was curious as to what you paid for it, very nice looking Smith!

 

[SC_Mike]

Thanks.

I thought it was high, but its such a clean and well kept weapon. $599.00, includes the box and all paper work and manual.

How'd I do?

Oh my, I've never seen one of those particular set ups in any gun store. Excellent find.

Sweet, congrats! Regards 18DAI

I don't think you paid too much at all. That is a sweet looking blaster - congrats!

That is a very nice piece. I got lucky and got a CS-1 in three inch but that non-fluted cylinder has a "look" to it.

Good find.

That's a really neat configuration. I bet the unfluted cylinder adds just enough weight to moderate the recoil a bit. Looks nice, too.

Nice find. 3" .357s are great; I wish I had one.

Welcome to the forum Mike - I think you did really well!

Thanks Rhino. It's keeper.

Not a real "classic" like a 66 but from what Im finding out its kinda rare...

another BIG welcome to the forum...lots of gunners are looking for the 3" variety these days...you did very well

I am having a very hard time welcoming you, especially when you stol...er..aquired that 686 for what you paid! Oh well, great score. I would have been all over that like ticks on a hound. WELCOME!

Nice one, looks like a dash 5.

 

[cobra44]

Welcome aboard.
That product code lists a 3 inch, 7 shot, bead blast finish, unfluted cylinder. The CDJ4XXX is correct to that revolver.
I have never noticed one of these before. Not sure how rare it is, but I like it.
Is that a dash 5 (located on the frame when you open the cylinder, 686-?)
