Smith and Wesson got them right! The 586 and the 686 L Frames. Range Report

[Tom_R]

25yds??? 50' target. No indication of yardage to target. Just 25 rounds fired.

Correct, the target was about 9-10 yards away.

I just bench rested it to make sure everything was OK before I shot off-hand.

It is an accurate 2.5" revolver.

The 586 will group like that off-hand all day long.

That one is flat out awesome. Best handgun I have, period.

I'll soon find out what I think of the 686 as everyone says if you only own one revolver this is the one to have .. I have a Performance Center 686 on the way ..

I've been anxiously waiting on my "Permit to Acquire" to come back from the Firearms Registry so I can pick up this baby..........

I have some guns I'd hate to get rid of......

Shotgun, 3rd gen, Shield, a Sig, a rifle several revolvers, my 9mm carbine.

But they are going to have to pry my 686 out of my cold dead hands.

It will be worth the wait once you get it.

The 686 is a great revolver to have.

Proud owner of a 4" 686 here. It's without doubt the best trail/camping/utility gun out there. This thing even makes it to my carry rotation. This would be the last gun to ever leave my side.

Yeah. Due to Australian Gun Laws, I believe that they would be the most popular Smith & Wesson product at present (and in the past 20 years).

GREAT GUNS, THE MATH NOT SO MUCH.

"9-10 Yards = 27-30 feet by my calculations. Congrats on some fine guns.

Where is there a problem with my math?

I played Football growing up, so I am familiar with how big a yard, or multiple yards are.
