FInally....a 686 In My Collection!

Recommended Posts

Many thanks to Ira Levin at Legend Firearms for supplying me with this beauty. I'll have to invest in an S&W ref book to make sure, but I THINK it's of 80's vintage. Just an awesome, superbly-made piece of firearms art. Can't wait to get some rounds down-range!

I'll save you the money. PM me your serial number and I can give you the year (appx - S&W was not exactly linear when doling out serial numbers). Also give me the engineering variation (the "dash" number after the model number under the crane) as a double check.

 

Adios,

Congrats BTW - everyone needs at least one revolver in their collection.

Bob: PM sent. Thank you very much! This is actually my second revolver. The initial one was the very first handgun I ever purchased: a Model 37 Chief's Special with a nickel finish, which I still have and still enjoy taking to the range....sparingly.

 

Regards,

Scott in Bayonne

Congrats! Thats a keeper. I consider it a "must have" in any revolver collection. Classic and utilitarian. A "go to" gun if there ever was one.

 

It is definitely going to replace the Glock I have in the nightstand as the primary HD firearm, that's for sure ;-)

Nice guns aren't they. So nice the wifey didn't want to share hers and I had to buy my own! We have a 6" and a 8 3/8" version.

 

IMO, the 6" barrel on this gun pretty much is the limit on what I'd shoot comfortably. I cannot begin to imagine what the 8 3/8" version is like, LOL. I'd love to try it out though, so if you're ever up this way I'll treat for an hour at the PBA range here.

Congrats on the 686! You're really going to enjoy that thing, and you'll soon discover the fun of making one ragged hole in a target (if you haven't done so already) because that gun will shoot better than most people, lol!
