686 Torment

[sbcman]

Why is there so much 686 torment in the classifieds. I suffered, for weeks, with one local to me being up for grabs- it finally sold. Relieved, I look back in the classifieds and BOOM, another one local.

I've got one, a 686+ and I don't NEED another. Fantastic revolver, probably the finest 357 ever made. I'll never get rid of it and my sons and daughters can fight over it when I'm gone. Mine has the lock, which doesn't bother me.

What does bother me is the pre-lock, pre-mims showing up in the classifieds. So, please, someone grab these so I am no longer tormented.

I've been trying to get some funds recently for one. We actually had a nice long discussion about wheelguns just the other day

Back in the mid 80s The S&W Perfromance Center put out several 686 versions with slab barrels and interchangable barrel weights that fit into the huge under lug. I had two of them back then when I was shooting league and still dream of having one again. Those were the days...

They are tempting me as well. I would be killed by my wife if I bought another gun so soon, especially since I bought my safe yesterday. That would make 5 guns and a safe in 3 months, she would not be a happy woman. Plus I am thinking about a 1911 commander.

I've noticed those little beauties showing up in there also... Would love to pick up that one in Demotte, but no funds right now... You can never have too many guns... Good luck to whomever can afford them..

I have one for each day of the week. I'm not sure if it is an addiction or not. No one has said that I should go to rehab............... Yet!

You should go to rehab.

There; someone said it.

I what a 686, with a 7 shot cylinder & a 5 inch barrel

I feel ya brother... I have a 4 inch L frame that shoots like a dream. Best double action trigger I have ever felt. Got the want for a 6 inch to go with it... but can't make it happen just yet. If I can find me a large loop .357 lever action, then I will start saving for the L frame next.

I hear ya! Although, for me, if any of them would have been a snub I would have to have gotten it

Those wood grips are pretty SWEEEEET. Really nice examples of what "Guy Jewelery" is supposed to look like.

Well I did what I could and removed the 686-3 4" from the classifieds.

+1 Repped! Thank you for alleviating my torment

 

[Plinkuh]

Someone just needs to buy my Glock, and I'll help alleviate some of the torment as well!

Buddy of mine got one for cost because he worked for corrections some years back. Shortly afterwards, he got a job down south and needed cash for the move. Got a 4" six shot for under $300 NIB...likely the best deal I'll ever see...
