Thanks again gents I ended up buying the 986 today. My local dealer was 250 cheaper than anyone in town. Thanks again. Bob
Well Gents I bought a 986 today . They had a great price on it and said go for it. Now I need moon clips etc. The price was 799.00 so approx 250 cheaper than anyone in town. The empty case that came with it said the gun was from 04/2015 So must not be a great seller lol. So hoping to go to the range soon. A but weird weather here in Michigan and I enjoy shooting out doors. Thanks again guy. All be safe keep your powder dry. Bob
Update on the 986. Went to the range today. Started raining so only shot 70 rounds. 5 moon clips of 124 lead cast bullet lee mold. Also 5 moon clips of 115 grain berry bullets. All with cci primers ane titegroup powder. The gun was great shot straight which is better than my. No ftf and no sticking brass. So extremely happy with the results. Thanks again all for the input. Be safe shoot straight and keep your powder dry. Bob
I like a happy ending to a good story.
This is an old thread but very informative...I am planning on buying a 986 Pro (5") ...the prices seem to be locked at $1339?
My concern is 50 yard accuracy...anyone else have a 986 with good reviews. I prefer the L frame and the 7 shot is fine for "action pistol" competition.
