Looks very nice. My brother did the same thing w/ a Taurus, but his didn't turn out as well.

Looks really nice, but I am not chopping of an inch from my 686. The thing just balances out perfectly for me.
You can not deny the craftsmanship of your conversion

Damn, that came out really nice. Looks factory.

That is an improvement.
I have a 686 since 30 years and the stainless front sight with red insert does no longer agree with my eyes. I can either give the gun to one of my kids or invest into another front sight like that. |

Very nice - hate the balance of the full underlug on 6" or more barrel. It looks better than factory.

I have a 6" with the power port. I was thinking of having this done as the port collects a lot of lead. Can I ask how much that cost?
And wait, your 6 shooter has an extra hole in the cylinder, what happened there? |

Your inbox is full but I want to thank you for the info. I want to do exactly what you did with the barrel.

I haven't cut a 686, but I did cut a 6" 617 to 5". It took off a few oz. and now matches the weight and balance of my 627PC.

I swear by my 686 - and that front sight is exactly what mine needs. What a great looking set up.

I have a 686+ like yours with a 6.5" barrel. It's the most accurate handgun I own. I will never part with it.
