Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 686-4 “Plus” 7-shot is a highly regarded double-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, with the flexibility to also fire .38 Special cartridges. Introduced in the early 1980s as part of the L-frame series, the 686 was designed to withstand the recoil of full-power magnum rounds while maintaining the balance and ergonomics favored by target shooters and law enforcement alike. This particular 686-4 model features a 6-inch full lug barrel for improved accuracy and recoil control, paired with a pinned red insert front sight and a white-outline adjustable rear sight for enhanced target acquisition. Finished in bright stainless steel, the revolver is not only visually striking but also corrosion-resistant and built for long-term durability.
