My 686-5 Plus 4" fits in my Bianchi 5BH exactly like my friends 686-5 4" (6-shot). There are no differences in dimension between the two, except the number of holes in the cylinder of course. I have a number of Bianchi 5BH and they all show some minor differences in fit. ..

Yes. Mailed them about three weeks ago, but I´ve heard nothing from them (except an automatic mail receipt)... Maybe it has something to do with my location not being within the US..? ..

I need an owners manual for my Trijicon ACOG TA31F, preferably in pdf. Does anyone know of a download source..? Thanks! ..

I use a coyote brown Spec.-Ops. "Patrol Sling" (#101030111). It can be mounted in several ways, including single-point on most rifles (it´s not a dedicated AR-sling). The quality, workmanship and ergonomics are outstanding. I highly recommend it! IMO the best two-point sling on the market and...

Isn´t the 386PD the way to go if you want a lightweight 7-shot .357 CCW..? I´m planning of getting one for myself... ..

Found this on a German auction site http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=2568227): Should the markings really be "U.S.A. ARMI" on the LaRue? I´ve seen the "LIVE FREE OR DIE"-markings, but the misspelling of ARMY is either a RaRue special or the work of Chinese illiterates... ..

Thanks, Radagast! ..

Thank you, Radagast! It´s always nice to know more about "the one you love"... ..

I got my 686-5P second-hand, in very good condition about a year ago. So I don´t know its DOB, or its previous history. I´ve done some research on the different generations of the 686, and as I understand the 686-5 was a short-lived generation with a frame mounted firing-pin but no (stupid)...

Yes, it is! If I could choose only one handgun out of my safe, this would be the one: A "pre-lock" Smith & Wesson 4" 686-5P, seven-shooter. My all-around favourite! ..

My latest project: A Remington 788 "LBMRS" (Low Budget Medium Range Sniper) in .222Rem. The rifle was bought new by my father in 1967, and has to this day exactly 64 rounds trough it. Works fine up to about 250meters (~270yd) in still weather. Next on the "to-do-list": Pillar beddning...
