I have a 4" 686-1 that was not sent in for the modification. I carried it for several years doing night security patrol duties. It has held up very well in all conditions. I currently use it as a home defense revolver. I know it will take care of me and my family as long as I take care of it. The last time I qualified with it was way back in the mid-1990s. The course was fired at 7 yards, 15 yards and 25 yards. With 125 gr. SJSP 38 Special +P ammo I fired a perfect 300. With 125 gr. SJSP 357 Magnum ammo I shot 297. The 686 will handle any factory load you choose to use and beg for more. My 686 is one of the finest revolvers I own.
