Ii would like to have a 3in . Nice pistol. You will enjoy it more with Pachmeyer grips if you use mag ammo. TALO edition is non fluted.

I’ve always wanted that exact pistol, just with a 5 or 6 inch barrel.

I have the 5" in that series and a 2.75" but with the normal fluted cylinder. Man that 5" is a shooter

Here's my 3" 686+
Attached File As far as I know, S&W did not make a 3" 686+ pre-lock. I sourced a barrel and had a gunsmith make a pair of these for me. |

You are in for a treat!
I’ll shoot mine tomorrow now too! |

I have a 6” that hasn’t seen the light of day in years,,,, hmm already had a range trip planned midweek, I might have to take it!

I do wish there were better speed loader options out there for the plus.
I find the current options a bit lacking |

View Quote I have some Hogue grips around here somewhere I plan on putting on it. 3" barrel seems like a good compromise between a 2" snub nose and a duty length 4". Anybody know where to get speed loaders for a 7 cylinder? |

Ignore all the other comments OP, you gonna die and you got ripped off. Sorry to have to break it to you. Tell you what, send it to me and I'll dispose if and even waive my customary fee.

I know I'll never go home.
So set fire to your ships, and past regrets, and be free. |

I have the same gun in 3" from the 3-5-7 series. The only only change was to put on Pachmayr "compact" grips on it. Unfluted cylinders are the best cylinders.

I traded that exact model off years ago and it was an extremely favorable trade deal but I’ve still wanted another 3” 686+ since, for a CCW revolver it’s basically just the pinnacle of options.
You made a good choice. |

I have a 686 6" that I'd love to trade for a 3". I never shoot it and it's too big to carry.

I have the same gun. I put a set of Hogue Bantams on it though, I prefer them for carry and shooting. And since I’m going to the range today, you’ve inspired me to break it out of the safe and bring it with.

My dream revolver is a 3" 686-4 round butt with unfluted cylinders. The only way I'll get it, though, is to get a donor gun and swap out the barrel and cylinder.

The factory guns tend to have reasonably decent triggers that get a bit better with use but the simple spring kit will tend to turn a pretty good trigger into something quite wonderful. Very small improvements in a revolver trigger are what makes them great shooters. Good advise when swapping out springs is to shoot it with various factory ammo to insure reliability is up there before you count on it for defense use. Grips are a personal thing . size of hand , strength and shooting style can all come into play. For me the softer Houge grips work better for me than the Packmeyers. Don't let the peanut gallery get you fired up about the extra hole in the side of the gun . Yes it is dumb and ugly but I have both and have learned to just ignore it and keep shooting. If it makes you crazy there are kits to plug the hole. I own a 6" 686+(7 shot) and a 2 1/2 6 shot. more than once I have thought about something to fill the gap , say 4 or 4 1/2 |
