My quest for fine pre-agreement *&* wheelguns has netted me yet another orphan: a Model 686 with a 2 1/2" barrel. A Hogue Coco Bolo monogrip is already on order, as the new 686 will share CCW duties with my 4" Model 19.
This is my second 686 after the 6" model I landed three months ago for $270. This shorty 686 was a little more pricy: $340.
I've had outstanding luck since I decided to hunt down fine pre-owned *&* models. Right now eight of my ten handguns are revolvers, six of them Smiths. In the last few months, I managed to procure a fairly eclectic lineup, such as a 4" Anaconda, a 640 "Lew Horton" Carry Comp, a Model 28 "Highway Patrolman" from 1972 in mint condition in the original box with manual, a Model 19 4" round butt, and a gorgeous Model 25 with a pinned 6.5" barrel.
(Having a roommate working in a gun store, helps, of course, but luck has definitely been kind to me since I focused on older Smiths.)
Here's a picture of the new addition:
