I love the feeling of the Shadow but I just don't get on with the trigger.

This is my current IPSC gun, doesn't quite fit as well, but the trigger is so much better.

I didn't get a revolver for a long, long time. Glad I finialy did as they are great fun to shoot.

This is my new (to me) 686 - no dash.

Yeah, I did think about it but you are giving up too many rounds in Standard, and the extra weight of the TS is a huge advantage.

It's only a stop gap gun until I buy a 40 anyway, I've ordered one and just waiting for it now.

I would say that's cracking value! The same sort of price we used to pay 20 years ago for competition guns.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I am not sure of the histoty of the pistol, you would need to be into some serious competition shooting to justify it. I would be more interested in the one bellow.
Description: Luger P08 1917 all matching numbers (except Mag) Shoots well and is very tight- you will not find cheaper ...find another one! This pistol was originally a war trophy from WW1. It was brought to the Isle of Man, and there it lay, long forgotten until 2000, since then it has been in a collection, and has only been shot a few times. The grip number match the gun! Most decent lugers have been chopped in the UK

It's got to be a buyers market, make him an offer. razz

If I had have done, Froggy, you could have had it as a gift!
Sadly that old CZ and many others are part of some drain cover somewhere now.....

CZ75 SP-01 Shadow in 9mm and S&W 686-3 in .357 mag

Very nice! I have debated purchasing a CZ75 for a long time. They are very affordable here, usually on sale for under $600 every couple of months at the local sporting goods store.

I have a S&W 686 4", a retirement gift from the company where I worked for 22 years. They threw in a case of 1,000 .38 special rounds to go with it! The 686 is perfection in a revolver, at least for me. I previously had a S&W 28 4" and sold it once I got the 686 as it did everything I wanted in a .357 revolver in a bit less bulk and weight.
