    Found a 686 6" no dash, worth it?

    Today I came across a deal on a S&W 686 no dash in excellent condition for $450. I was planning to DROS it tomorrow, but I'm having second thoughts. I sold my old 686 4" no dash and regretted it, but I've been eyeing a Franklin Armory complete lower for the same money and trying to decide which I want. I need some feedback from the group to help me decide.
    Thanks!
    I voted against Obama before it was cool.

The full length dust cover rail makes a world of difference in the "when I run out of bullets I'm going to beat you to death with the pistol" look that causes bad guys to run in fear, and lesser men to feel inadequate. It looks just plain beastly and the extra heft up front does help manage recoil a bit better. Plus, an angel told me that when God called JMB to heaven it was to build him a full rail 1911!

        Get it! Get it now! Move 'fore someone else gets it!
        The liberal see's the glass as half full and tries to take more.
        The conservative see's glass as half empty and tries to keep it that way.

            Smoking deal. You couldt turn around and sell it for $650 in one day.

              They still make lowers but you will not find another 686 at that price.

                Why are you still here and not putting this gun in jail?

                  get it, you won't regret it.
                  sell it for more if you do


                  at that price I would check it out real good, but that is relatively easier with a wheelgun.

                      Exactly where did you say you came across it?

                        Thanks guys, you have made my decision an easy one! The real sad thing is I bought my 4" for only $200 so I never really appreciated it until it was gone. Few pistols I've owned were as accurate at that one, so I have been wanting another one since shortly after the lapse in judgement that saw me part with it.

                            Buy it before it gets away. I think I paid $350 for mine when they first came out. Wish I hadn't misplaced the original grips.
