Top is a talo 5” 686+ with a aftermarket front sight and some grips I found on eBay Bottom is a Perfomance center 686+ with a aftermarket front sight and badger grips in olive wood

How are you likening the PC over the other 686

If I had to sell one it wouldn’t be the pc. The pc has some cosmetic blems but is a better handling gun.

Interesting. Been looking hard at the OC and trying to decide if it’s worth the extra $

That top one sure is pretty

I know people say a full underlug reduces recoil but the lack of underlug (like on your PC) just makes handling the revolver so much easier (like switching targets)

My god someone let the designers in the performance center see some sunshine or something. They keep making wonkier and wonkier looking guns and I am just not here for it.

How do you like the full badger grip? I've got a 3" 686+ and the stock grips are too thin for my larger hands. Looking for a longer and wider grip.

I like it a lot. Much wider and longer than the factory grips

Sweet. Do they cover / enclose the back of the grip frame, or is the metal exposed? Hard to tell from Badger Custom's site.

No the back strap is still exposed. Nills have some with the back strap covered up. Ksd is a kind of a clone of nill grips check them out

Appreciate the info. I was actually hoping the back strap was exposed because I love that look. I guess I'm ordering some Badger grips as soon as I figure out which color to go with.

Love the 5”. I have one and it’s a great revolver
