I have 2, 686's. One with a 4" barrel, and the other with a 6" barrel.

I will wait for all the craziness to be over before I worry about it. LOL I am sure prices are up.

Some places can't keep guns and ammo on the shelf. Selling everything and anything right now.

My first service revolver was a S&W 686 with a 4" barrel.

I should have never sold it.

I should have bought one when I worked in a gun store.

I really liked the 4"

LMAO, no way to use that bad boy as a service weapon. Not sure I could draw and fire two rounds in three seconds without blowing my foot off.

I have a 6" blued Model 29 that I bought just before the Dirty Harry movies came out. Used to carry it in a shoulder holster.

My first was a S&W Model 19 4". Funny thing was we did'nt use .357 ammo we used .38 Special Nyclads because trying to load a speed clip of .357 under stress is a pipe dream.

My first was a Colt trooper MK3. Had to use .38's for qualification. Needed 113. In practice, I shot a 150 which is perfect. On the test. I shot a 148.

Had a damn flyer.

Some of the guys carried those but everyone had to qualify with .357. I am left eye dominant so I had to learn how speed slowed kind of cross handed. I got pretty efficient after a lot of practice. Being right hand dominant it was a piece of cake doing off hand drills.

Again. I still remember the last time where I couldn't get powder.

You still can't get some of it. RL 26 has been non existent since then.

Only for bulk stuff. I can still go to my normal place and order hunting Ammo at regular price. Guess people don’t rush to buy **** that is over a dollar a trigger pull.
