My 686 ICORE revolver. Started as one of the limited "stocking dealer" 5 inch half lugs. I had it cut for moons and put a 7 pound DA pull on it and went shooting. The HiViz and V notch looked great in the shop, but I never could get used to them on the range. Second year I swapped them out for an SDM fiber optic front and a factory WO rear, and that's how she sits today.

Hello .357 Magnum,

congraulations to your guns (and the set up) !
I owned a 686 2,5" bbl. years ago and found it extremely accurate and easy to carry.
At he moment there is a "Security Special" with a three inch tube at my left hip, I carry in a "Bianchi 111" .
I have my stainless guns mirror polishedwith black combat front sights and grips made by Nill. These are not really necessary but - all in all - make the gun fitting to my hand in a nearly perfect manner.

Best regards

Wisent

Hi Wisent,

Thanks for the compliments!!! I'd love to see you post some photos of you mirror polished guns as I'm sure they look great!!!!

I notice some beautiful grips. I have a mint condition model 28 and would like to fit some Rosewood grips on it with the S&W medallion. I've been looking around and would like some recomendation.

Hi .357 Magnum,

I am so sorry but I do not have a webcam to make photos - as soon as I have got one, I'll do my very best.
My 696 with dark rosewood combats is the best looking wheelgun I ever had.

But I have to admit - for technical reasons I wpuld very much prefer the carbon steel guns, like the "Classic Line" from S&W.
If I could have a 586 three incher in mint condition here in Germany, ... I but dream....

Best regards

Wisent

Hi Wisent,

Lucky you as I wish I owned a 696!!! I don't know why they aren't making them any longer as it is a gorgeous gun. Post some photos someday when you can.

Take care!!
