Never done this before

That's beautiful wood. If I've studied my S&W secret decoder ring right, 586=blued, 686=stainless.

[Bawanna]

Correctamundo. 586=blue 686= stainless.

Didn't realize the Colonel knew Latin! LOL

[Bawanna]

Oh yeah, I'm multi lingual. Actually that's Fonzy dialect Latin to be precise.

You must be a bit worldly yourself to recognize it.

Aaaaaaaaay!!!!

I rented both today. A 686 6-round with 4" barrel, and the 3" GP100. Both had the same accuracy for me, and once the live ammo started flying I could not tell enough difference between the two to matter. I know, pearls before swine. I haven't shot my 4" GP in a while, but I remember it taming .357 better than either of these.

Tomorrow I'm trying the new Pachmayr grips on the SP101, and the Hogues on the Speed Six. Maybe a new wheelie isn't where I'm headed after all...

Wheelies are purdy. I can always rationalize getting another.

Or if you want a real sweet gun...find a model 65 S&W 3"

First off you never get over it! I love my 686+ it has 3 inch barrel and not bad for carry in wright holster. Top one in picture is 686+, 2nd one is model 60 and bottom is model 63 eight shot 22.

If I had those three, I don't think I would need anything else!

I watched one on gunbroker, it sold for way higher than I'd wanna pay.
