   @lioncrater The 686 in the vid is a sqaure butt. All the newer 686s are round butts.

   Question for you I got this same model bought it used from a dealer but it came with a more “Red” wood handle pretty sure its a cherrywood handle. Was this a standard in the pre 1994 as I am looking at yours and it looks a bit like a walnut were I believe mine looks like a Cherry wood. Any thoughts?

   I’ve got the same gun. S&W 686-1 6″ barrel. The single action trigger is just beautiful. And the piece is heavy enough that even the hottest loads dont slam your palm at all. Accurate, a real tool of a handgun!

    you mention the thicker material on the cylinder. It’s my understanding that the thickness was for military weapons. cops don’t really need that much steel. You go cracking off a couple hundred rounds you’ll need it though.

    That thing is gorgeous! I had the new version of the 686 with the Hogue grips and the built-in safety lock…eh. It was nice but next time around, I’m gonna be looking for an older model like the one you have there.

    @Antarath

    In other words. totally identical to yours. I would never have found out how old it was until I took off the wooden grips on day and there was a date stamp on em.
    I like the grips on yours

    I got a more recent version of the 686 S&W 357 magnum 6″ with the rubber grip. It’s really cool but the wood grip is more beautiful because more “traditionnal”
