S&W 686

Meet the Model 686, a Smith & Wesson® Double-Action Revolver perfect for first-time gun buyers. Designed with a robust L-Frame and chambered in .357 magnum, this revolver is built to handle both the power of .357 magnum rounds and the versatility of .38 Special ammunition. Whether you’re at the range or considering home defense, it’s an ideal choice.

Its full-length ejector rod shroud strategically adds weight to the front, minimizing muzzle flip for quicker, more accurate follow-up shots. The revolver’s single-action trigger is notably light and crisp, enhancing precision, while the smooth double-action pull allows for rapid firing in high-stress situations.

The stainless steel construction looks sleek and offers exceptional corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance—ideal for long-term carry, whether in a holster or on outdoor adventures.

Comfort and control are paramount. The synthetic rubber grip ensures a secure hold in any weather condition and effectively absorbs recoil, making it easier to handle. Balanced, smooth, and accurate, the Smith & Wesson Model 686 is a top choice for those looking for a powerful, versatile, and user-friendly revolver for everything from hunting and home defense to law enforcement and target competition. Proudly made in the USA.
