Anyone have any experience with this Performance Center model? It’s interesting to say the least and I’m kicking the idea around. It’s vastly different than a standard 686 (I have a few) but the look, design, and option to adjust barrel weight is intriguing. I watched a few YouTube vids and it seems to shoot very well. Always interested in feedback from the THF crowd. Link to the SW website attached. https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-center-model-686-competitor-6-weighted-barrel

Never shot one of the Competitor versions but all I have shot from the PC have made me want more from them
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

The two 6” models I have shoot very well. One being the adjustable front sight model famous for the silhouette shooters back in the day. I suspect this heavier model, front loaded, really steadies the aim. And reduces recoil. I’m not a bad shot with a revolver nor do I have “the shakes’ like the Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles. You either get that or you don’t. Either way a red dot on one of these should get you well past 50 yds. That’s fun right there.
Research continues……

I would have bought one years ago if it weren't for the Hillary Hole in the side.
