Nice wheelin' & dealin'

Wish I was handy instead of old.

Looks beautiful. I'm sure you'll enjoy that puppy.

I think I've read that some of the newer 686's are coming with canted barrels, and wind up going back to S&W for repair. Personally, I'd stick with an older model 66, which everyone loves.

The early 66's came with stainless rear sights which some people have trouble seeing compared to the easier to see darker rear sight used in future models.

Just list the model number, and we can tell you if it is stainless or nickel.

I have had only positive experiences with S&W CS. And yes, they send the repaired gun directly to your house, but an adult over 21 must be there to sign for it.

Not a great deal imo. You can find a 3.5" or 4" for around that $$$. Perhaps not quite as pristine, but nice.

There is no way to determine price with any accuracy without knowing the dash #. A -1 is going to cost more than a later gun. After -4, S&W eliminated the p/r features, so that's something to consider.

You paid the "Back to the Future" price on that one.

That is a bargain price for a like new 6". That said, the 4" are the more popular size. It isn't necessarily p & r, as there was a transitional period for the -1, when some guns were one or the other, or both. Good luck, as you can't go wrong with either one.

I'm also not a big fan of the I/L. It's not the lock itself, but that hole in the side of the gun that I dislike. Even if the lock is disabled, the hole remains. At this time, I only have one I/L revolver. I am trying not to buy another. To O/P - I think some of the J frame S&W Centennial...

You can't go wrong with model 66's

I have the model 27 on my bucket list. I have been unable to find one with a price I am willing to pay.
