Fellow Shooters,
I have the opportunity to be a used, but in excellent condition Mod 686 + 4" barrel for $300.00. I know the guy pretty good and know he's not an avid shooter. More than likely the weapon has never seen more than two boxes of ammo through it.
It's been several years since I've priced 686's and the last time I owned one was back in 89 when I had a 6" barrel version. Going to my local dealer for a price check is a joke. He wants $700 for Glock 30's, $300 for Keltec 32's, $800 for HK's and the last revolver I looked at..a Taurus was going for $450. Needless to say, I can't use him for a good pricing source. Recently I had to sell my G36 for financial reasons and he offered me $300 on a TRADE. Not cash mind you...but on a TRADE! All the while I saw he had a used G36 for $639.00 in his case...ok..sorry about the ranting..but you can see why I dislike going there.
Back to the topic.....
Is this a good price for this particular model?
And what are the pros and cons of this revolver.
I need a good carry gun with a bit more power than my Mak for the time being until I can get a G30 someday. Hopefully when we get that money from the Govt...and yep..I'm still holding my breath on that one.
Good Shooting
