[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Are all S&W 686 revolvers 7 shot?

Been thinking about one of these. I think I want a six shooter though.

They are 6 or 7 of I recall. I know 6 for sure.

Mine has a 6-shot cylinder. If I recall correctly the 7-shot one is called 686 Plus and usually goes for about $50 more. I like S&W revolvers, have several, and the 686 is as good as any of them. (and that is a good thing!).

Both exist: The 686 has the 6-shot cylinder, while the 686+ has a 7-shot.

My first 686 was carried on duty...It was a four inch six shot. I think they now make a seven shot for hunting etc......

Ratters-didn't you ever see the cowboy movies where the indians counted shots then charged over the wagons on the 6th shot-worth having 7 I think

why wouldn't you want the extra round?

Quoted:

Cause then it wouldn't be a "six shooter". Duh.

Actually the thing would just be a plinker, so an extra shot wouldn't really matter one way or the other.
