Smith and Wesson 686

A Wolff spring kit will lighten the double action trigger pull by a lot. Highly recommended if it doesn't come with such.

A 4.2" barrel will be better for action shooting where you shoot from a holster draw. For general range plinking and bullseye use the 6" will have a longer sight baseline length which SHOULD make YOU more accurate.

A 586 is the same mid size S&W but in blued steel instead of stainless. Pick which you prefer. Both are superb.

If shopping used there's a couple of slightly smaller and lighter K frame guns you should not pass on. A Model 14 chambered in .38Spl only and the model 19 in .357Mag so you can shoot either. Both are true revolver classics.

I agree, I have a Model 14 (best most amazing trigger on anything I've ever owned!) and a model 19, as well as a 686 Talo Edition....the Talo is nice, and a step up from the regular 686, but doesn't even begin to come close to the model 19 for quality. For the same money as a new 686, I'd be looking for a Model 19. If you must have a 686, I can make you a pretty good deal on a like new Talo!
 
Outsanding wheel gun.....

Buy the 686 you won't be disappointed. I switched the grips on mine from round butt to square butt - much better feel in the hand.

there is no break in procedure ....clean it, shoot it, sight it in, and have fun ..... I like the 4.2".
If your buying new, its a very good decision. and worth the money .

Beautiful grips! I may have to look in to a set of those, though I do like the Talo grips on mine.....where did you procure those?

I bought them from D&J Gun Repair in the States. Judy Ahrends recommended them to me (owner's name is Terri I think?). They have an eBay store (gripseller) where they have a pretty good selection. The Cordia grips were a special order though and they took a while to be made. I did the whole transaction directly with D&J. They were great to work with, very accomodating and communicative. I will definately will be buying from them again when I get my next revolver.

Thanks for info, I will take a look at them....
 
Bought my first Lframe back in the 80's. Good to go right out of the box and just keep getting better the more you shoot them.
 
I shoot my 686 better than my Python. I like the trigger better too but that just be because I shoot it more. The 6" is a bit nose heavy though so I might have to add a 4.2" to the collection
