s&w 686 2 1/2 inch pricing

[Truckman]

I was offered one today at a gunshow with the original combat grips and correctly labeled original box for $3500...As a bonus he would have thrown in the Lew Horton 3" 629 also with combat grips and original box at no extra charge...

I too have a 686-4 pre-lock, combats, 2-1/2" and 7 shots
Can anyone tell me when and for how long S&W built this configuration?

I believe that configuration was made for less than a year in 1996.

Recent auction 2 months ago had a 2 1/2" 686-4 with original combats in original box hammer for $1639.00 before fees,tax and shipping.
I recently sold one in original box with original combats for $1500 to a forum member.
Still have 2 more 2 1/2" 686-4 with rubber grips and no boxes.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

I have a -3, and a -4.It would take a pile of change to get them.

Here's one I found at an LGS a couple years ago.

I bought this one a while ago. 686-4. One of the best triggers I've had. Wearing Herret's retro combats, very comfy grips.

Keep the pictures coming

I paid less for it than my 686 through a local sale. Maybe they didn't know what they had?

That's often the case...

I just bought a 686 no dash for $700, asking price was $750. No box and came with round butt magna's. Price seemed low to me.

 

[GSP Fan]

that was a great price.

I gave $1300 for this -1 within the past 6 months (probably overpaid but happy anyway). Came with nice combats but like these bigmtnman's stags better!

My 686-3 2.5" with factory combats and no box sold for $900 to a dealer two years ago......Ben

I just picked up a 686-1 snubby yesterday for $720. It's a shooter and not perfect with some pitting, but I'm thinking it will clean up nicely. I'm also going to refinish the stocks. It will be my first attempt at that. After reading through this thread, I'm thinking I got a pretty good deal, even given the finish issues. Gun mechanics are sound.

Nice find! I haven't seen a pre lock 2.5" 686 in 4-5 years - I would have bought if I did. If it were mine, I'd bead blast it and send it to H and M for black nitriding.

This 2 1/2" 686-4 was my nightstand gun for many years.
It will be up for sale soon in the Guns for Sale Forum.

I was actively trying to keep a list of 686-4+ guns for a while. Haven't done anything with it for a few years now. I had all 3 barrel lengths too. Now I just have a 2.5" and a 4".

The Big Tulsa Gun show is this weekend. I'll keep an eye out and report back if I see any and their price.

I know this post is about snubbies but I just had to bring this up. Way back in 2001 I was at my LGS when I saw a very pretty revolver that I decided to buy on the spot. It was a NIB S & W 686 PP no lock with a 6" barrel. I paid $599.0 + tax. I've never regretted it. I never replaced the original Hogue grips because they really worked. Loved shooting that gun!
Recently I gave it to my son because I wanted to make sure he got it since it meant so much to me. I promised to come back and haunt him if he ever sold it after I died!

Just won a 686 no dash in an auction for 12 fity last week. Very clean, original wood grips but no box. First one I saw in a long time.

 

[GSP Fan]

I'm surprised the one listed in the classifieds is still available. I have a 2 1/2 M19 so don't really need it but.......the thought still crosses my mind. I wish it had wood combats vs the goodyear's LOl

 

[StakeOut]

If it had the combat grips it would be $300 more.
A buyer can put pretty looking combats for the WOW photos or leave the rubber for range and carry.
The asking price is lower than what's being asked at local shows.

And you got a sweet 19-3 6" in the package deal . Just do like the rest of us and say you got the 19 for a bit over 2 grand and they threw in a 686 Snubby for free LOL.

Hope you are still happy with them both Mike. She sure does look pretty with those grips!

This one just showed up in the classifieds a little while ago..

S&W Model 686-5 Pre-Lock 2.5-inch – Beautiful $1,250 shipped

 

[ACORN]

You guys made me check my safe. I'd have bet money my 2-1/2" 686-5 had the lock but nope! I was fee!ing bad, thinking it had it, and consequently I was a second class citizen, but now feel much better considering I have about $175.00 invested.
I think Gander Mountain messed up royally when they priced it in their used case.
When did they switch to the lock, and what dash?

I've posted about before about this 686-3 I got recently at Sportsman's Warehouse-part of the Puerto Rican police highly neglected inventory they got.

Another Sportsman's Warehouse rescue lol Pics in posts 2 & 6

Picked it up yesterday after my gunsmith did a thorough cleaning/smoothing of the action. I'm in to it for just under $700 as I also needed to replace the rear sight assembly. It still has a fair amount of scratches but mechanically it's great. I'd like to get a matte finish on it but not yet as it really looks much worse than the photo shows.

The grips it had fell apart when I took them off lol. I happen to like the Compacts for carry/helping to absorb recoil.
