BUYING BACK YOUR OWN GUN
I had to laugh as for the first time in 38 yrs and 100's of guns I bought one of my own back. a win 94xtr 375 cal mint. bought for 150$ in 1983, sold for 500$ in 2007, and re-bought in 2013 for 750$ (with 10 boxes of ammo). sure glad it's home. trading/selling a vintage 686 to get an lcr?, hello McFly is anyone home?

Another vote for keeping them both. I sold a 586 I wish I had kept. I still have a 686 I don't plan on selling. My only excuse for selling the 586 was I needed money and it had a small scratch on the barrel. At the time I thought I could always buy a better one for the $350 I got, no way today.
I still have my first gun a Model 19 and a Ruger Red Eagle my buddy gave me before he died. If it came down to it I'd sell my first gun before the one I inherited although neither are for sale.

She really is , been with her 12 years now . She likes guns and never gives me a hard time when I come home with a new one.
I dont know what I was thinking , that is just crazy .

Beautiful guns, a real sweetheart for a girlfriend, man you are one lucky dude. I also have a girlfriend who does nothing but smile when I walk in with a new gun, even after I have said, about the previous one, this is the last one...

A part of gun ownership is pride in your firearms. You will find shooting is much more fun and memorable. The Ruger LCR is a working man's gun and won't appreciate in value as much as the 686.
Its funny watching her , I always open the gun and show that its empty before I hand it to her . When I give it to her she always puts it in her right hand and feels the weight of it first , then with two hands points it at the wall ,finger is never on the trigger, then gives it another look and and tells me its nice and asks if its a .9mm . I always get a chuckle when she says " Is this a .9mm?" I think its the only caliber she remembers .
I totally agree

Yeah, you need to keep both those 686's....Sell your spleen or sumthin' to front the Ruger.
I'm with the majority... Keep both and get the LCR when you have the cash.
I have my day's Highway Patrolman (his duty gun as a LEO). I will be passing it along to my son as a remembrance of the grandfather he never knew.

Keep your dads and buy a real gun from the money.
