SW 686 Plus first outing!

Post by Kissmybrass » Sat Aug 27, 2022 7:51 pm

Finally got out to the range and love this S&W 686 Plus 5" revolver!!!
Used some .38 special 115g up to .357 180g bear loads
First 50 foot shot was a bullseye :-) Smiles all day lol

Sighting in with .38s was pretty easy.

First distance shot!!! Loaded some 180g hard cast bear rounds and hit the middle lol
These bad boys kick a bit more but manageable with a 5" barrel.

Nice revolver work. Love the 686. I think it is the perfect 357 revolver and that's coming from a diehard single action fan.
