Classic look. Absolutely beautiful. There's just something about a wheel gun with that look.
Now, if only S&W would build one with a VR barrel.

I've been thinking about getting a wheel gun...a new 686 or 627 is just too expensive, but those Rugers are price just right.

Nice grips. I have the same ones on my blued S&W. Those grips are rare and worth some serious $$$.
I'm not sure if they're original S&W grips or not. The last guy who owned it had them covered in shiny shellac or something. To make matters worse, the shellac was applied to the grips without removing them for the revolver! It took me a good half hour to remove the stuff from the frame using mineral spirits. Then I used some 000 steel wool to get the shine off of the grips.
Another option, but can't comment on quality ...

For $200 more, a Ruger ...

And the 686, as you know, is a $100 more than the Ruger.
