Just purchased my first revolver, and it's a Smith ;)

Congrats and welcome. That's a very nice first revolver!
If your so inclined , how about a range report on what you think of your first revolver.

Of course! I plan on taking it out to the range this weekend :D
 
Weil I picked her up today. Just got home and took a picture of it. I love how it looks, not sure if I want to buff and polish her up after the visit to the range this weekend.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcoming. And yes, I'm already addicted and I haven't even shot the gun yet XD.

Here's some more pics. Used my tablet to take these. The first pic was taken from an old camera (Which sucks) lol

You'll enjoy it. I was picking on some steal plates at 100 yards with my 6" 686-4, on Labor Day weekend. Some were amazed that that could be done. But, they are great shooters.:cool:

Wow, that's actually impressive. Sounds like a dead straight shooter. Then again, the gun is only as accurate as the person shooting it ;)

Not much better than a new Smith 686+ (love my dash-6 3 inch), except for another Smith.........

It's not new, this is a 686-4+ meaning used and made in 1996. But the condition is a light / like new. And agreed, no substitute for a Smith except for another Smith.

Apparently, the original owner of the gun was a gunsmith himself and he did a rather mean trigger job to it. The single action is very ticklish and the double action is very smooth. Better than stock action.

I'm always wary of guns that have had "trigger jobs"....especially when I don't personally know who did the work. Dollar for dollar, I'd take a stock gun over one that had been worked over.
 
I may be one of the last people carrying a S&W Model 686 (4 inch sixshooter) as a duty weapon.

Haha, I like the quote and reference. I'd have to +1 with that statement lol

Perfectly understandable. But this trigger job was done very VERY well. It's definitely a hair trigger, but there's no slip off and the timing is right on where it should be. It's a solid gun with a very nice single action pull.
