686 PC revolver in 38 super

[Dacos]

I've been looking for a replacement to my 6" model 14 S&W and wanted something unique. Well, the new 686 PC in 38 Super looks like it will fit the bill and then some. Anyone seen one of these yet or shot one?

I have seen pics of the 627 in 38 super and almost bought one in 357 mag. The PC revos are nice guns.

1. What is wrong with your M14?
2. I handled the 686 PC 6-shot .38 Super cliploader at the SHOT Show. Nice gun, I will probably buy one for IDPA SSR. The S&W and Bangers reps said they would be out in April.

I don't suppose you could shoot it with 9mm Luger?

NO!

Does one have to use moonclips?

No. Case headspaces at the mounth. And since its a semi rimmed case, star will sometimes extract the cases or at least partially extract the case and you don't have to dig them out with your fingernails.

I also checked out the one at the SHOT show, very cool, they had to have made it for IPSC and IDPA.

I think they are only going to be avaliable through Bangers

Has S&W decided not to introduce this model after all? It's missing from their website and I haven't seen or heard anything from the shops I frequent regarding its availability.

I still see it under 686 the last one listed and .38 super on the Smith sight

I heard today from a Master class shooter who was consulted on the specs that they will be out in April. They were originally scheduled for March, but the .500 is taking up so much man and machine time that they were put off for a month.

Bangers is the sole distributor.

What other revolvers did S&W make in .38 super? I saw an 8 shot S&W revolver in .38 super last fall at a local dealer. I picked it up thinking it was a .357 from the custom shop, but it was a .38 super with multi colored grips.

If it shoots anything like the PC 66 F-Comp I just bought it should be great.
