I used to own a 4” S&W model 686 back in the late 80s and early 90s. I ended up selling it to a coworker of mine, and I’ve regretted it ever since. Well, I came across this new 5” model 686 Plus (7 rounds) with unfluted cylinder and wood grips. I just couldn’t leave without it, so I welcomed it to the family. I’m looking forward to a range session. My 4” version was a tack driver, so I have high hopes for this one.
