New to me SW 686-4 with 6 inch tube.

Hi folks, I've been on here for awhile but never posted. Anyway, I just acquired a SW 686-4 with a 6"barrel in excellent condition. I love it is pre lock / Mim too. I looked it over pretty well
Lockup is nice. Cylinder gap is about 005/006. Who ever owned it did not shoot it much and took nice care of it. I already have a recent production 586 (classic). It's a decent gun but has the lock hole. It also has a large Cylinder gap of .010. Consequently, velocity is lower than it should be. I found out about this issue via chronograph. I can't wait to try out the new one though.

Welcome to the S&W Forums! That is a handsome Model 686!

Welcome to the Forum! Very nice, and it's wearing some sweet stocks! Should be a great shooter. I'm just discovering the L-frames, and only have a 3" Model 686-6 Plus. But it's already one of my favorite OWB carry guns. Enjoy!

I foolishly traded off my 6" 686-3. It was an accurate revolver. Do have a 4" 586, and a 686-6, 5" Pro Series though. Bob

My favorite revolver is a 686-3 4" I got NIB a couple of years ago at less than a new 686 because it was an unpopular commemorative. Anyone want a US Treasury 200th Anniversary belt buckle to wear in cowboy bars??
