New Revolver!

Woo hoo!

S&W 686-6 5" barrel SEVEN SHOT .357 Mag.

 

[451_Detonics]

Nice looking gat, the 5 inch barrel is a great length.

Sweet gun! I have a 386 Sc/S 2.5" and love it. More accurate than a snub should be. I am sure the 5" will do even better.

Sweet firearm! Congrats on the new shooter.
Enjoy!

Beautiful thing

I like!!!

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Thanks!

Now I just have to find some .357 ammo...

And then make time to go to the range...

*sigh*

But at least I have a .357 again. I shouldn't have ever sold my first one! Doh!

Im not a revolver fan, But that is sweet! Nice purchase

I love the 7 shot 357. I have a Tarus 617 snubby. SO much fun.

Never owned a 7 shot or a 5" barrel 686, very nice looking gun, you will enjoy it. If you don't own any reloading equipment, you might want think about buying some, even a Lee hand loader, lots of different loads you can work up, making the gun really versatile.
Congratulations, very nice purchase.

Sweet piece! I don't own a S&W but I do have a Ruger .357 Mag. Great guns, although I do like sending .38's down range a little better usually. Those 686's are great revolvers, congrats!

If I ever get a .357 again that 686 is what I am getting. Nice looking rig, thanks for the pics!

I have for sure thought about a single-stage press for reloading .38Special, .357Mag, and 9x19.

Thing is, though, I'd have to sell something off to make that happen. And I've got things "right where I want them", now I have a .357 back in the fold.

Not so much that the press itself is all that expensive, because it's not. But the dies, case trimmers, tumbler/media, scale, etc etc etc. It adds up. I just don't shoot enough to justify it. There are other things that I could use that money on...like a half decent upright rolling tool chest. *sigh*

$60 for press and dies to get you reloading. That's 2 boxes of ammo... Reloading doesn't HAVE to be expensive, it just gets that way when you really get into it.

Yes, I know...

But how would I measure the powder? Need a scale!

Nope, powder dipper comes with the dies. As long as you are using their recommendations off the sheet that comes with the dies, no scale needed...

I hate when I run out of excuses....

Congrats on the revolver! I love the 686, best 357 ever made. Mine is a -6, 4" 7rd, standard. I think yours is called a "stocking dealer" or something to that affect. I've heard they are tuned for competition.

Again, congrats!
