L frame is the best frame

Midway had a record of my purchase! Grip is back ordered but everything else is headed this way! Almost anyway. Grip is backordered. Picture this as a 2.5 inch instead of a 3...

Nice, I agree the L frame guns are special. I have a 6” power port that I love shooting 38’s, total powder puff.

I had so many 686 L frames at one point I wound up dumping 3 of them. Definitely not one of my better decisions. The L frame is what I got started on in the world of S&W revolvers

My one and only "L" has only 5 holes in the cylinder, the 44mag. Had first bought the 4.2". Then the snubby bug bit and I traded it off towards the 2.75". As we all know, BOTH was the correct answer and in the next year or so hope to fix this problem. "L"'s fit my medium sized hands better than "N"'s, hang lighter on the belt..

Love the L frame. Would love to have the 3" 686+. Love that DA setup on the one pictured. I do have two L frames, both in 44 cal. Bought the first one a 4" in 2015 and the second a 2.75" a couple of months ago. They are my favorite 44s, for many of the reasons that Bula mentioned.

The M686 is pretty hard to beat. For a .357 anyway... Here's my old 4" no dash

Here's a round butt M686 that Hamilton built for me when I had my .41sp Mtn, Gun built. He took the frame from the mountain gun and added a new 6" barrel I got from Brownells to the frame. Of course he did a action/trigger job on it as well as adding the requisite sights. Semi ugly mint green round->square maple grips are by Culina. I like 'em. Thing shoots like a rifle...
