S&W 686 vs. NE Handgun Course

Post by Hrfunk » Mon Apr 22, 2019 12:27 pm

Hi all! Here's the next installment in my series on qualification challenge videos. In this one, I'm pitting my S&W 686 against the Nebraska Law Enforcement Handgun Qualification course. To see how it fares, check out the video!

Nice work, HR, in shooting both the revolver and the video!

Looks like you've got that 686 well-tamed! I never could shoot mine that consistently - very cool!

Thanks! I really like that 686. It has one of the best actions I've ever felt on a DA revolver.

Is it stock or did you do some mainspring/rebound spring replacement or other mods?

Looks like you are having a little bit of difficulty drawing from your holster. Was wondering if it is a newer holster; may need to be broken in a bit.

So far as I canb tell, it's box-stock. I bought it used however, so it's possible a previous owner might have done something to it. If so, there's no indication of it.

Yep, the holster is new and needs to break in a bit.

And you still passed the course. That speaks a lot for those who don't. Also, it is a credit to your ability. Just my 2 cent.
