Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 686 is a six- or seven-shot double-action revolver manufactured by Smith & Wesson and chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge; it will also chamber and fire .38 Special cartridges. Smith & Wesson introduced the Model 686 in 1981 and has been a staple among Collectors and Shooting Enthusiasts ever since.
The 686 has been available with 2.5,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 in barrel lengths as standard models and other barrel lengths either by special order from S&W's Performance Center custom shop, or acquired from or built by after-market gunsmiths.
The Model 686 was an immediate success and quickly proved to be a superb revolver that was well-made, exceptionally reliable, durable, accurate, and powerful. The Kentucky State Police, along with many other police departments across the U.S., quickly recognized it's advantages over the S&W Model 66's they were currently carrying and adopted it as their standard service weapon less than a year after it was introduced. The S&W 686 would go on to serve the K.S.P. very well for many years until the S&W Model 1076 semi-automatic pistol was adopted in the early 1990's. Many of the officers that carried this fine revolver wanted no part of the new automatic but were forced to turn them in anyway. This was essentially the end of an era for the revolver and police departments across the country. This particular example is serial number AAF2631 and Kentucky State Police weapon number 27769-G05. If you have been looking for a truly exceptional example of a Kentucky State Police Model 686 for your collection, here is your chance!
