Amber's new 686.

Moon · 05-04-2007, 09:07 PM

Here it is, the 686 that Amber picked out at the gun-show last weekend. It's a beautiful revolver, and these photos don't really do it justice. The steel on it looks blemished, but it's just the flash/glare from the camera. Without hesitation or further ado:

I was blown away by how accurate this revolver is. It shoots just like a Python, just doesn't have the smoothness (action and trigger). Shoots great ! Loves souped-up handloads

She picked it out, I just handled the financial negotiations.

I do like those laminated grips!

It is a beautiful revolver. I normally don't care for stainless, but the stainless steel in conjunction with the laminate grips make for a really pretty piece.

I like revolvers, they seldom let you down. Good stuff.

Amber has herself a very nice and quality revolver, S&W is an excellent choice IMO.

BTW moon where's the picture of the duct tape repaired Hornady tumbler?

That looks sweet. Contact wolf springs. You will be amazed at the trigger improvement, just from changing some springs

That would work great with those lead bullets you have Moon. Lead is what I shoot in my model 629 Mountain Gun and my model 65 .357 for target practicing.
