- Here we did a unboxing and review of the Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum 7-shot 686-6 with Remington 158 grain lead tip .38 rounds, and Freedommunitions 158 grain jacketed hollow point rounds. We shot 4 of each, 2 single action and 2 double action and in the video you can see how far the hammer pulls back the trigger under pre-load. Once the hammer pulls back the trimmer, there's essentially no pull at all other than a mean to apply pressure to the trigger and it fires!

You are literally, after all these years, the first person I have ever heard have a positive thing to say about the key lock on a S&W firearm.
There have been cases of the lock locking up the gun....it's rare but it happens
The lock sucks. The reviewer is misinformed.
@@80sDon it would have been better to put the lock on the hammer like taurus
@@mikey3800 Or leave it off all together like Taurus currently does. S&W is the one and only manufacturer who is still including an internal lock on their revolvers.
@@80sDon One could only wish that....I've put Smith off the radar bc of the lock
The 2.5" barrel model has the perfect weight distribution, in my opinion. It's heavy enough to mitigate the recoil, but not so heavy that your arm gets tired when shooting with only one hand. And if seven shots isn't enough, you can easily bludgeon your attacker with it. Ha!
But I like the 3-inch cuz it's got the full injector rod
@@user-rd8vp6nq8b That is the one downside to the 2.5". The short ejector rod can be annoying once in a while.
@@aljanssen7748 Its still a beautiful gun dont get me wrong, i do like the size like you said, The place I went had 2.5 and a 3in to choose from,
@@user-rd8vp6nq8b I have the 2.5 and 3". I EDC and like the 2.5 better. It also looks better IMHO. Most people carry snubnose Jframe sized revolvers for edc without an issue with ejection. Taurus, Ruger LCR, Kimber K6s, Charter Arms, Colt Cobra and King Cobra Snubs, and S&W Jframes dominate the carry market when it comes to revolvers and have so for decades without the ejection being a big deal.
@@finalcountdown7658 cool,
I have the Performance Center version of this handgun. Just an awesome piece to own.
I looked at the Performance Center model of the 686-6 and at the time I did not have the additional funds to purchase it so I went standard. However, over all it's a great piece and I definitely agree with you. Also, it's good to know the Performance Center model is worth the money if someone is aiming for that model! Thanks Shawn!
I (sometimes) appendix carry my 3 inch 686 Plus. Otherwise it’s the 640 Pro in my pants!
Excellent revolver choice and video...
Thanks Kyle! I’ve thought about a shoulder holster and I don’t know why I’m still on the fence about it, it wouldn’t be bad to have that kind of setup and have it with me on the bike and be able to chance things out.
Well you got a fine Smith and Wesson 7 shot .357 Magnum so you must be doing something right!
The 2.5 inch is ok, I like the 3 inch full size injector, I can't stand the Hillary hole, but no a deal breaker nice gun dude
Congratulations, you're the only person who likes or uses the S&W lock...
I live behind the iron curtain in the democratic socialist/communist state of New Jersey so the lock is very useful when I'm transporting the gun to the range
I like it too 🤷♂️
Perfect home protection gun.
Beautiful handgun. I
I have one myself.
Love to shoot it with 38 Special.
.357 is fun once in awhile.
Heavy Firearm to conceal carry.
Carry my Glock 43X for concealed carry.
Good job
can't go wrong with a 686, I carry it in the 3" barrel and love it. (Cross Draw while driving)
The .454 must be nuts!!
I had the super red hawk 2.5 in 44 magnum and that thing is a god damn powerhouse. I wasnt even shooting Buffalo Bore or Underwood either but man that thing had some serious power 😳
I wish I personally owned one but at the current time I don't. I've shot one a few times and the adrenaline and power is just insane! The next few on my list to pickup are the Sig Sauer P938 in the 2-tone army green and black (in .45 caliber of course), the Chiappa SAR Rhino 30DS chambered in .357 magnum, and then I'll work my way back up to the Super Redhawk Alaskan .454 Casull. Mainly due to price and what I need at the time. Since I sold my .45 acp I no longer have one at all so that's why it's first, plus I've always wanted a Rhino and it's cheaper than the .454. But still, they will All be on the channel eventually no doubt since I still watch others' videos of them and get excited about preparing for the next investment! Also, what happened to your 44 magnum?
Locked & Loaded i ended up doing a trade plus cash deal for it. Someone gave me a brand new G19X and $200 and I only paid $600 for the red hawk so it was a solid deal for me. I sold the Glock for $525 and ended up with some profit.
Now I have a S&W 686+ 2.5” as my carry :)
@@jaycamacho8179 Very nice, and nice turn around! And what was your thoughts on the 19x? I've been contemplating picking one up if the price is right since people seem to like the 17 style grip they placed on it since they don't feel like they have to do a lot of readjusting while firing. Did you have the same experience?
Locked & Loaded oh yes big time! I was shocked to find how light the recoil is. Its a great shooter no doubt! I also have an M&P 2.0 full size slide on a compact frame and it shoots just as good if not better then the 19X.
But at the end of the day I need a wheel gun in my life lol
@@jaycamacho8179 Awesome, I appreciate that information! I miss my M&P, recently got rid of it to make some more room and since it never got carried, but it stayed in the family. Also, definitely agree on that last statement. The new video reviewing my wife's shamrock green and black Charter Arms UC Lite will be up soon. Great little carry revolver if you're needing something real light, but extremely durable! And relatively inexpensive coming in at around $380.
Nice gun
That's the ultimate snubby.
I have a 4" I customized quite a bit. It's my profile pic. I did a complete trigger job, mirror polished it, replaced the front and rear sights and put some wood engraved rosewood grips I customized on it. But 7 rounds of say full house Underwood ammo.357 Magnum whether it be 2.5" or 4" is the bomb! Plenty o' power
Do they make A Plus which holds seven rounds and a 4 inch barrel?
@@Ben-sv9op yes they sure do!
Thank you
Am I going to have to watch a pair of hands flail, pat, point and poke? Yep! Rare to see a gun review that isn't just hands.
Hey Phoenix, I hope you at least enjoyed the end where we fired the pistol to show the recoil. However, for the beginning and majority of the video, I wanted to make sure to get a close up review straight out of the box, but I’ll take your feedback positively and switch up future videos!! I’m not sponsored or make any money off of these videos, and with ammo prices and demand being the way they are at the moment, there hasn’t been much shooting going on over this way. But I hope you stay tuned because there’s a lot of cool and interesting reviews I’d like to make as soon as things lighten up! Take care~
Yes❤
It’s a 2 and a half in barrel
hate the lock so much i got the 642 no lock
I have the performance center version. Strange, it didn’t have a fired case in it like your version. Anyway that gun is a awesome looking, definitely a great choice.
Smith and Wesson told me they were no longer sending them when I inquired.
Wow 850 what a great deal i just got a 3inch and it was 1,236 with taxes in ca.
Can always shoot 45 long colt in the 454
Yup! But they are go btwn price.
No go on the lock.
There’s a delete kit that’s available
Mark my words s&w, "I will never buy a keylock smith and wesson!"
have one great gun
Could those 38 rounds be any more smoky ! Are those reloads
I have the 4 inch version of this gun. Considering this 2.5 inch for carry. How hard is it to conceal and deal with the extra weight?
I bought one yesterday cost me over $1,000.00
Donde puedo conseguir una
For the price I think it should have come with a soft carry
Specifically "Super RedHawk Alaskan"
They make a 7 inch
Do you own a S&W 500?
@young_king_21 That's a great question and thought I don't currently, I wish I did! That was on my brothers list to purchase next since he's had his eye on it for a year now and due to some car trouble that had to be taken care of first, that purchase has been delayed. If I'm correct, he's planning on picking one up after the new year and as soon as we can get our hands on it, we will definitely be taking it out to the range to dive deep into it, and uploading a video in regards to it as well!!
@@lockedloaded9048 Awesome looking forward to that video btw keep up the great work
@@dman2043 Sounds like a plan my friend! And thank you, I will do my absolute best!
Nice Revolver, it reminds me of my Ruger Speed Six, it was stainless with a 3"Bull Barrel, I regret selling it but it was my Best friend, I love Revolvers, I've had a bunch of them, I know you'll enjoy it. Keep your Powder Dry. 🇺🇸 😉
@@josephpacchetti5997 Ahh, the Ruger Speed Six is a genuine classic that will never go out of style! I hope you come across another because I'd like to have one of my own in relatively decent condition. Haven't even seen one at a gun show lately now that I think about it! And yes, I've enjoyed the Smith for going on 3 years now and she's not going anywhere. But on that late note, agreed sir!
The empty casing is Not to show that it was fired/working it is to show the firing pin imprint and it is turned over to the police so that if a shell is recovered from a crime scene they can use a microscope to examine and see if the gun that made that imprint is yours...I believe at one time it was required to to turn this over to police in Mass upon purchasing the gun....not sure anymore
Exactly
