    For Sale from DeMotte, IN:

    Smith & Wesson 686-3
    6-shot .357 Magnum/ .38 Special
    4-inch barrel

    Comes With:

    Original Goncalo Alves Target Grips
    Pachmayr Rubber Presentation Grips
    Four (4) Safariland Speedloaders
    Bianchi Suede IWB Holster

    This was a gun carried by a CPD Officer on the streets of Chicago several years ago. It was originally purchased in 1990.

    The action is tight and the trigger is SMOOOOOOOTH! The timing is impeccable on this weapon, and it is impressively accurate!

    Cylinder, bore, and chambers are bright and shiny. A few minor handling marks that can be addressed with a bit of polish if desired (I left it as it was because each little mark adds a bit of character to a gun).

    The only issue whatsoever other than a few handling marks is a small ding on the right side of the front sight. As you can see from the pics, it doesn't affect sight picture at all and, once again, adds a bit of character!

    The target grips are in great shape because the officer used the Pachmayrs and kept the wood grips at home. The Pachmayrs are VERY comfortable and still in great shape!

    Here are a few pics:

    This is a CLASSIC firearm and a great shooter that will serve you well for a lifetime!

    No internal locks. No MIM parts. Made back when S&W was still focused on making cold steel instead of polymer shooters!

    This gun kept a police officer safe on the mean streets of Chicago and can keep you and yours safe on your journeys wherever you might go!

    PRICE DROP

    $540 FTF in NW Indiana
    $580 Shipped to your FFL!

    This includes the speedloaders ($45 value), the Bianchi Holster ($26 value), and the extra set of Pachmayr grips ($20 value). This classic firearm is costing you right at $450 when you factor in the extras you are getting!!

    The first "I'll take it" gets the deal. Price is firm and no trades at this time.

    Thanks for your time and interest in advance!

    ***NOTE: I will also be posting for sale some 38/357 ammo and a LEFT HANDED Milt Sparks Holster in their respective forums within the next few hours. If you are interested in either, let me know and we can give you a "package discount" as well.***
