How About an L-Frame Pic Thread?

[ogilvyspecial]

Below might be all of the L's I have left. I just came off a selling jag and gave away a couple,
one to our youngest son & another to our son-in-law, both of those were also Actions by "T" worked guns.
I gave the guns to them on one condition, they don't sell, trade, give-away, whatever, those guns as long as I'm alive.

Shown below wearing their "ugly goodyears". I got tired of always swapping out the "lookin' grips" for the "shootin' grips"
and eventually came to see the beauty in functionality. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

586 no dash, no M, 8 3/8 barrel

Model 681 (no dash)(former TPD issue) with Crimson Trace grips; Safariland 200 duty holster; and Bianchi Model 7 concealment holster. (All holsters are moot at this point since the wife has claimed the revolver as the "house gun." My former next door neighbor gave me the Model 681 when he moved!)

Here is my imported back into the country 681-1. I had it glass bead blasted and a trigger job done to it. I just put the grips on it....some I picked up off eBay. The trigger is butter smooth and the single action is almost scary. Who says a range gun can't look good?

Doesn't get any better than that.

586 No dash 4" bought from forum member. Great shooting L frame.

Fresh from range 3 inch barrel CS L frame

Sorry New to this and do not know how to post as other than attachment. Also not great as a photographer. A great local gunsmith owned and finally sold it to me. Very nice trigger. I have mixed feelings about the quad magnaport. Works great but very noisy. This has the letters CS inside the frame behind the crane followed by -1.

Just had a note saying my posting is too short?

586-4 wearing the combats from my 617 no dash. A revolver with blue this beautiful deserves some equally dashing wood. Shoots as good as it looks too. Who needs a Colt Python

686 no dash, no M. One of my favorite range guns.

AAA prefix 581 -one of the earliest L frames.

686-1M with the uncommon 8 3/8th inch barrel. A real can popper at the range!

686-2 with an action job, B Square mount, Burris 2-7X and ugly Grippers. It wears Hogue wood now. Most accurate .357 I've shot.

Thanks for the great pictures. Wow!

One of my 686's... with night sights.

DHART; you still shoot my favorite photos. No matter how many times I've seen that shot of your 686+, it still grabs my attention.

Just the one right now. 686-4 Plus 6" with round-to-square Ahrends Cordia grips, Miculek trigger job, and D&L fixed rear sight.

586 Comp L

My one and only L frame is this 586 Comp L from the Performance Center. Seven shots, moon clips, night sight, comped barrel, and a sweet trigger! It is much handier than the N frame 627 and easier to hide.

 

[holo]

picked it up today

Guess I can play in this post. 686 bought new and 586 no dash bought two months ago. I really like the 586.

Still think the 581-681 and the 586/686 is the best looking S&W revolver ever made.

Love this one --- I am guessing that 586s/686s factory cut for moon clips are pretty darn rare right?
