Darren sent us this photo of his Smith & Wesson Model 686, stripped down for polishing. He writes …

This is my 686. It usually wears some old school wood Pachmayr grips, but is torn down for polishing in this pic.

A steel beauty like the Model 686 is timeless and will never go out of fashion.

    It's a beautiful piece of firearms engineering.
    Heritage is only a part of it.

    Great, now I will feel guilty handling my guns, trying to explain that even though I looked at gun porn doesn't mean they fail to fulfill my needs.
