Funny, I just did this in a thread about 586s....

I love the L's, but somehow N's have taken over as the dominant frame size in my safe. Still, I've managed to hold onto a few nice ones.

Top to bottom: 686-5, 646, 696-1 & 686-5

Here is my 4" 686-3. The stocks are Kurac's (claro walnut) and the prop rod is all thanks to bbtrout.

Two must haves for any S&W collector...

686-3 The best dash of all 686s

how do you like your 696? I'm currently waiting on a seller to call me with a price on a no dash.

I have 2-586's, 2-686's and a 696. I all are no dash guns and all are great

Only have one now, a 586-5 from 1998. Wears Ahrends cocobolo conversion grips

Yes, I really like the 696. I regularly carry one, the other sits in the safe. I like the combination of the L frame’s size and the
44 spl. I’d buy a third no dash if condition and price are right.

I got into L frame very late just in the last couple of years but have managed to obtain two 686-4s. The 2.5 inch has been done over similar to the factory “combat revolver package”. Stocks are Eagle Sambar Stag. The 4 inch is perfect just the way I obtained it. Beautiful action on it. Hogue “factory seconds” from their auction site they used to run. I’m still trying to find the right grips for it. Just bought a set of Uncle Mikes Spegel conversion round to square grips off the forum.
Years ago I passed on a 581 at $400 because it had some surface rust. Still kick myself on that one. And I missed some surplus 681s our company was turning in - could have purchased at $399 but I didn’t get to tag one I had picked out and missed out on it.

686's

About forgot about this one 686 Mountain Gun

I don't remember where I got these grips but
they have beautiful grain and complimented the 686 MG
I believe they are made by Badger.

Recently upgraded my LH 686 no dash to a nicer one with original grips. Than I happened into a set of unfinished Hogue's from the early 1980's.

I have a couple of handy L frames to add. First is a 686-6 wearing Ahrends (oh how I miss them).



And a 696-1 wearing Uncle Mike's.
