Smith & Wesson 686 Plus .357 Mag/.38 Spl +P 3" 7-Rd L-Frame DA/SA Revolver

The Smith & Wesson Model 686 Plus is a premium 7-shot L-frame double-action/single-action revolver chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P. The Plus variant sets itself apart from the standard Model 686 with a 7-round cylinder instead of the traditional six, giving one extra shot in a frame purpose-built for continuous magnum use.

This 686 Plus features a compact 3-inch barrel in a satin stainless steel finish, matched to a satin-finished stainless cylinder and a satin stainless L-frame. The shorter barrel makes this revolver easy to handle while still delivering full .357 Magnum performance. Overall length measures 8.18 inches and the revolver tips the scales at 36.8 oz, giving a solid, controllable feel that tames magnum recoil.

Sighting is handled by the classic S&W combination of a red ramp front sight and an adjustable white outline rear sight, providing a fast, intuitive sight picture in varied lighting. The revolver wears black finger-grooved grips that sit naturally in the hand and help absorb felt recoil. The exposed hammer allows traditional single-action cocking, and the action transitions smoothly between double-action and single-action shooting.

Designed for personal protection and sport, the Model 686 Plus reflects Smith & Wesson's long-running revolver program. The L-Frame is engineered with a strong, durable frame and barrel built for continuous Magnum usage, and this 7-shot Plus variant adds one extra round over the standard six-shot Model 686. Current-production and ready for the range or home-defense role, this 686 Plus is a versatile revolver for both defensive use and sport shooting.
