Found this in another forum and couldn't pass it up.
Anyone know when it was made? Will most likely add the Hogue rubber grips as I prefer them.  Attached File Attached File Attached File686-4 6-shot:  Attached File Attached File |

-4 is not that old but pre Hillary hole. Pinned hammer firing pin.
Best guess 90’s gun probably the first generation of the 7 shot cylinder. |

Nice addition. Grips were definitely not original to that gun. What’s up with the hammer?

If the other one is BPW. While not actually recorded (a lot were not), there are some that fall in sequence. I show a lot of BPs, but the last two are BPS and BPY before going a different tag set. It would put that one in somewhere in 1993. |

Dash-4 is the best era
Old enough to not have the Hillary hole or MIM New enough to be drilled & tapped. I had mine cut to 5"    Jack Weygandt sight base, Dawson fiber  |

The 686-4 Plus models should all be from 1996 or 1997. The -5 came out in 1998 and was the first with MIM parts and CNC frame. The -6 has the IL and hasn't really changed since 2001 except for variations and their source for grips.
The 2.5" is the rarest of the bunch. I have a relatively common 6" one.

It has a standard trigger, but an MIM hammer. |

Nice find! I didn't know they made a 7 shot with no lock. I have a snubby 686-4 and it's been great.

I had a -4 7 shot 2.5” made around 1996 that I traded for a Glock about 15 years ago because I am stupid AF. No, I seriously do think about that gun, I was an idiot to let to get away. As I’ve gotten older I enjoy revolvers more. That is a nice piece you’ve got there. I am currently looking at a 586 Comp for sale locally. I am trying to hold out for a S&W Night Guard if I can find one but at the price that 586 Comp is at I might have to jump on it.

Here's my hammerless S&W 640 357 magnum 2 1/2 Barrel. Police trade in.
Softish shooting with 357 mags for some reason. Real accurate also for super small notch fixed rear sights.  Attached File |
