Sixgun Sheridan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I used to have a 6" 686 from back before the lock was introduced. One of many guns I shouldn't have sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I shot this baby today! I first shot my reloads in .38, pretty mild. I then shot some PMC 158 grain .357's, WOW pretty hot!! I then tried some 125 grain reloads from Tennesse Cartridge, they were potent but fairly mild. All in all a really nice shooting gun! I would defend my life with it in a heartbeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Very nice, Rye. I have liked the 586 and 686 revolvers ever since I a 586 at a Police Benefit years ago. I like the grips. Are they Hogue grips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a newer model with the lawyers safety lock! 686-6 Don't bother me none! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both guns are .357 and definitely get shot using .357. I have never had an issue with the locks. I don’t use them and they do not move. Just for kicks I activated and deactivated the lock on my model 60 Pro (J frame 5 shot) dozens of times trying to see if recoil would make it move. It does not move. It stays disabled, just like it’s designed to. Have fun with your new toy...I mean, revolver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbwire Benn Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Man, that takes me back ! 1980 - young L.E.O. just out of college and first job. Model 65 /.357 fixed sights, basic police gun. Was used when I was issued it...but what a sweetheart it was. Several years later, transferred to larger Dept. and was issued a Model 66 (no dash) The grand-pappy of all these big boy 6 series guns (IMHO) Bet I ran over 10k thru that beast in as many years, never let me down. Wore that 66 many a day in the rain, snow and wrestling on the ground with some misguided individuals. In the early days the state of NC let us qualify with .38 wad cutters (You know...nice little round holes in the target) Later they required that you had to qualify with the duty ammo that you agency carried. For you that have done it, you know why the call them smoke wagons. Night time qualification was a "Hoot" Line up 20 shooters and all let go with 3 rounds at 15 feet....at night, now that's a show of flames and smoke. Was fortunate that when we followed the trend to go to Beretta model 92/9mm, we where allowed to buy our model 66 for the trade in allowance. Should have bought 5. (but, young and broke with a family, ruled the day). Never did warm up to the 92f/9mm. Just didn't have the soul that the 66 had. Later switched to the Glock 9mm and retired with the Glock .40 Glock .40 was and is an outstanding duty weapon and still would stake my bacon on it now. But nothing compares to "Polished Stainless Steel and Black Patton Leather Holsters" a double pack of speed loaders and of course those shinny "go to prom shoes". I still have that Smith and Wesson 66, and like most of us, I own a few "smoke wagons" but none like that one. By far and wide my favorite pistol, I have a soft spot in my heart for her. Still bring her out for the occasional trip around town. I think she enjoys it......I know I do. Benn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
