I recently purchased a 686-6 4", which promptly went to S&W for repair. Just got it back and have not shot it yet see prior post.
Yesterday I went to the LGS and found the mate for my 4"...... a 686-6 + 2.5" This had my name on it and it followed me home....! I am selling my CZ SP-01 to help pay for this purchase.... It was a great gun.... low recoil and very accurate.... However my real interest is in Revolvers at the moment...!
I have high hopes that this one will be a winner out of the box and that the repairs on my 4" will also be spot on...! I knew that the S&W Revolver bug would bite me bad and it has. I know that many of you prefer older models, prior to 1980 =/-, however I do not have a problem with the newer guns. I have read that the specifications and tolerances are tighter than they have ever been on the new guns, which brings consistency to the new offerings that didn't exist when there was more hand fitting done. I'm not saying that the new guns are better, I am only saying that I do not think that they have really gone down hill.... Just my opinion...!
