WTS S&W 686 Plus revolver. 357mag. It features a 7-shot cylinder, a 3" barrel, round butt with Hogue grips. It includes the original box, papers, and lock.

 

Caliber .357 Magnum and .38 Special

Capacity 7 Rounds

Stainless Steel Frame

Stainless Steel Cylinder

 

 

This safe queen was bought in 2010. I put through it less than 50 rounds.

 

$650 OBO

A) The 3" S&W's are some of the most desirable since they are short-barreled enough to use as CCW's, but long enough to use as range guns. 3" is also the ideal length for those guns chambered in .357 Mag as the extra barrel length (as opposed to 2.5" guns) allows for a longer ejector rod, which allows the cases to completely clear the cylinder on the ejection stroke. (Not so with 2.5" guns - you have to rely on a hardy push on the ejection rod plus gravity, to clear the cylinder).

 

B) Seven round cylinders are the strongest. Because of the odd-number of chambers it locates the cylinder bolt stop notches between the chambers (where there is more metal) rather than right over the chambers - where the metal is at its thinnest.

      Are handgun chassis legal in NJ?

      By ESB · Posted

      Getting a non-threaded barrel is easy.  I'd definitely consider it as having a form of a shroud for #3.  The question is does it actually violate #1?  If so is there another chassis option that does not have mag holder VFG?

      So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law.

      I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.

      Radios...?

      By ESB · Posted

      Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
