Bud's has one in the Used section.....

 

$500 shipped.....

 

Is this basically an older brother to the 686?

 

 

Opinions?

too much in my opinion but thats worth less than .02 cents

 

You can realistically find a 585 or 686 in excellent condition at that price, and I would rather own one of those than a model 19

Just because I like you, and since I have NOOOOOO money left this week I'm passing up on these. Might be worth looking at.

This.

500 is kind of steep unless the gun is minty as far as I'm concerned. A little more gets you a new GP100.

That stainless Smith is a really nice gun.

I hate it when you guys make sense.....

Please don't remind me, I've been staring at it for a week, going I need to find money for this. Then I realized their is no way I can swing this and a Ruger Mark III and since I already agreed to the ruger I can't back out boo

Troy, check out the one in Totals thread. The shop is in Freehold and I have dealt with them before, good guys. I can even go and look it over if you need.

 

You can not go wrong with a 686.

+1 on the 686

 

One of the best looking 357's out there, if not the best.

 

Was also my first handgun!

The 19 is a K frame whereas the 686 or 586 is an L frame therefore stronger. The grips are the same.

The one you speak of?

Nice.......

I meant reply, not thread,POLISH MOMENT.

 

Still nice

I've got both. i like the 686 much better than the 19/66 series except in the 2 1/2 inch barrel range. Then I do favor the 19/66. Parts are getting difficult to find for the 19 while the 696 is still a current model. Beyond that, whatever feels better to you, go for it. Most shoot little in the way of full magnums through their handguns so the stress on the smaller frame will probably not be a big factor.
