Has anyone ever seen the 686 (nickel finish) with 4 inch barrel? I assume the 686 was sold with a 4 inch barrel at one time? Only the 6 inch version is available new.
IIRC a three barrel 686 set was sold on here some time back (4", 6", 8").

Both the 586 and 686 were sold 1998-2006 in any of the three lengths, or as the full set.
Since 2006, the 586 has been available in 4" or 6", and the 686 in 6" only.

In its box marked accordingly.

Thanks for the replies. The gloss 586 is the best looking pistol, the 686 is marred by a black magazine. However, I have seen examples of the 686 where the magazine has been polished which improves the appearance (guess the matt black mags polish fairly easy). The 4 inch pistol has a nice balance about it, so I will look out for the 686-4, now I know they are not too rare.
You can't say muntjack without saying mmmmm
In the dim and distant past, when a British citizen was free to own such things I had a Dan Wesson.357 Magnum revolver which was supplied in a smart black attache case with 2.5", 4", 6" & 8" barrels; two sets of grips and a chunky, embossed Dan Wesson belt buckle.Originally Posted by kemik
It truly was a thing of beauty and it broke my heart to hand it in for crushing/melting.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
