S&W 686+

Beautiful piece!!

 

[Carlos Viagra]

I'm looking to trade my 38 special (with some cash) for a 357.

 

[Flint]

Happy Birthday. Nice!

 

[The Ol Professor]

Beautiful handgun...happy birthday!

 

[KTS]

Happy birthday! I bought the exact same revolver two years ago and it wasn't even my birthday, love it

 

[DaveTN]

You can never have too many S&W revolvers.

That's a nice one.

 

[Jon]

Hard to beat a three inch 686+.

 

[UPSman]

I like it. The front sight is crooked but that's easily fixed with a new one that I can see. Gonna shoot it this weekend. Put my order in for a holster that should be here in 3 months
I have the Hilary Hole delete kit on its way.

 

[huntntrap]

That's really nice

 

[Carlos Viagra]

HBD!

 

[UPSman]

Sent it back to Smith&Wesson today. Should have it back in 3-4 weeks hopefully. Didn't even shoot it yet

The front sight is dog leg crooked.

The front sight is dog leg crooked.

Probably from those UPS guys. You can't have anything nice with them around.

 

[UPSman]

Have you not heard of our new service to wheee every box is busted open for the customer? It's part of our CEO's " Better Not Bigger" plan

Looks like it was twisted when the thing was put in. The whole sight is twisted and bent to the left. Beats me….i was gonna fix it myself but wasn't exactly sure if the roll pin hole wasn't cattywampus itself.

 

[Popcorn]

Nice!
Happy Birthday
!
I love my 686

Beautiful grips. I love my 686. I need a set of those fancy grips though.

 

[Carlos Viagra]

That's really bad, they can fix it, but it shouldn't have ever made it thru inspection.

Frustrating, I'm sure.

Ended up not sending it to S&W. I ordered a HiViz tritium front sight for it, bought a couple of drill bits and replaced it myself. Put a Hilary hole delete plug in it also. Pretty straightforward 2 beer job although I gotta admit my butthole clinched up when I broke a bit when I finally drilled thru the sight for the roll pin Drilled from both sides so I wouldn't waller out the sight hole. Gun goes bang and sights are on the money so it all worked out nearly 2 months after purchasing it.

I will snap a pic and post it tomorrow.

I was gonna have my cousin send it back for me since he is an FFL and is always around to sign for things. S&W sent him 5 new roll pins and a new sight for it. Decided I couldn't see the darn thing so I bought the HiViz for it.

I was looking at the same sight for my 686+
