Trigger Mike Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd like a 6 shot S & W 686. but before i buy would like to find out if there is a size or weight difference between the 6 and 7 shot model. i want a 4 inch barrel. one of the first guns i carried as an officer was a 686, but my hips would not hold it up being how I'm built but i still miss the pistol. feeling a little nostalgic i guess.

Abilene Al, SASS #72248 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Mike, Don't guess you would be interested in a super nice 6 inch? Abilene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 just a four inch since that is what i carried. 4 inch was as heavy as a boat anchor as it was. had a real hard time keeping my pants up, but the recoil was just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangfire SASS #24379 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Trigger MIke, I have one but had not really thought of selling it. Funny enough it has a similar history to your old one in that it was the personally owned duty gun of the guy who was in charge of the campus police force at the first college I worked for. He sold it to me when he decided his force would go to 9s and he needed the money to buy his. Like I said, I hadn't really thought of selling but what kind of money were you thinking?

Trigger Mike Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 hadn't fully researched what a used one is worth. a new one at Cabelas is 799. they are often high so it is hard to tell for a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangfire SASS #24379 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Well, I haven't looked into it either and Iike I said, I hadn't thought about selling. I'm going to let it go at this point. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangfire SASS #24379 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Sorry Trigger Mike. I was not clear, I meant to say I was going to drop the idea and hold on to the 686. I wish you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 BTT one more time. I live in a small town so not as much selection as I got in Atlanta so hard to buy it locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Trigger Mike , check out the Equipment Exchange on AR15.com. It is kinda like these classifieds , stuff for sale. I have seen 686 and 586 S&Ws over there before. Good luck , Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
