Engraved S&W 686

[Riomouse911]

A lot went into it, thats for sure. Like a few of the others said, super ornate engraving isn’t my cup of tea but thats not too bad in my eyes.

I have never fired a fully engraved gun like that one, all I own with “engraving” are the cheesy scrolling on a Remington 1100 shotgun receiver. For those who do shoot ornately engraved handguns with all those little crannies, are they hard to clean up after a shooting session?

Stay safe.

It was ugly before it was engraved. The engraving did nothing to help it.

I rather like it. The balance of black and white is nicely done. It's got a real Victorian/Steampunk vibe going on. And, for me, a couple of things I haven't seen before: the twin-lined scrollwork, and the black 'quilted' areas. I like the treatment of the trigger as well (which also seems to show the only evidence of a human hand at work).

But, geez, you go through all this hugga mugga with the engraving and then you slap on plywood grips? Seriously?

I think those are stock.

I'd like to see what other options of engraving are available by the same artist. I think it looks pretty good, just a bit over the top.

Like others have opined, I'm not much into engraving (except on nice doubles) but the engraving on this revolver draws me like a moth to a flame. I like it.

I'm tempted. If it were a 3" I already would have. Nicely done.

I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers. Oh, wait, never mind. I am a fan of engraving on stainless pistols and revolvers. But... a post-lock, MIMed 686, sorry.

And over 3 grand? WTH?

And over 3 grand? WTH?

And the final price is...$7525.

Not my thing. Kind of like facial tattoos.

WOW!!!
Showing off what can be done at their performance center. Would be nice to have a name with that level of engraver doing the work.
