Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith and Wesson Model 681 is a stainless steel revolver chambered in .357 magnum that is virtually identical to the popular Model 686 with the exception of the sights, which are fixed on the 681 and adjustable on the 686. Both guns are built on the L frame and sport a full underlug. Some Smith & Wesson collectors consider these some of the best-looking revolvers ever made. Made primarily in the 1980s to the early 90s, the Model 681 was used by many police departments throughout the U.S. and remains a fairly sought-after revolver to this day.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
