My S&W 686

[Zombie State]

I just picked up my S&W 686 today from Discount Shooters in Mt. Airy. My first hand gun. It was a bit of a hike from my neck of the woods but this is exactly what I wanted. The hardest part was waiting for the state to process the paperwork. Thanks Lou!

Eager to give her a nice cleaning and maybe a new Hogue grip. Yeah, my girl wears rubber.

Time to join a range and get a basic hand gun class.

Is it a -1? If so does it have the "M" stamped over the serial number? If it is is a -1 without the "M" you can send it back to S&W on their dime to have it modified and the "M" stamped on it.

Here's the recall notice: http://www.firearmsid.com/Recalls/FA_Recalls 5.htm

Nice! You'll love it. Fun to shoot and easy to care for.

Why did you choose that caliber for your first handgun?

Are you familiar with shooting the .357?

Anybody know where I can find mags for the new Smith and Wesson M&P22 .22lr semi-auto pistol? S&W doesn't have any. They're on back border. Looks like they rushed the gun to market before they had a decent stock of mags. And it only comes with one in the case.

Congrats!
I kinda like the grips.
Gives it character.

Nice S&W. I like the grips, too.....but then again, I'm old fashioned. Get the rubber grips you want and she'll look brand new.

Good looking gun!

Very nice!!

I've had 3 of them, a 2"(2.5?), 4" LE trade in and the one I still have a 6".
S&W's 686's have great triggers! Good solid choice for a first handgun. Shoot .38special or .357's, great versatility.

Congrats! The 357 revolver is very versatile and the 686 is a great gun. Enjoy.

What kind of modification?

Start your own thread on the subject! Hijacking a persons new to me gun thread is rude and in poor taste..

I didn't realize this was your first handgun.....awesome.
