Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 681 is a robust double/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, built on the square-butt stainless steel service L-frame with three screws. Designed as a durable duty sidearm, it features a 6-shot fluted cylinder with a nominal length of 1.62", along with a 4" full-lug ribbed barrel that enhances balance and recoil control. A 1/8" serrated ramp front paired with a square-notch rear sight provides a clean, duty-oriented sight picture. The .265" service hammer and .312" smooth combat trigger deliver a consistent, authoritative pull. Checked walnut grips with S&W medallions lend the revolver a classic appearance while ensuring a secure, comfortable hold. As the stainless-steel counterpart to the Model 581, it combines rugged reliability with corrosion resistance, which made it especially popular among law enforcement agencies during the 1980s. Approximately 53,180 were manufactured from 1980 to 1992, solidifying its place as a respected example of Smith & Wesson’s classic service revolver era.
