Smith & Wesson Model 686 Plus 4" .357 Magnum Revolver – 7-Shot Stainless L-Frame
The Smith & Wesson Model 686 Plus pairs the proven L-frame design with a seven-round cylinder, giving shooters one extra .357 Magnum cartridge without increasing overall size. Built entirely from satin stainless steel and fitted with a full-lug 4-inch barrel, this revolver offers durable construction, balanced handling, and easy maintenance. Factory-installed adjustable sights, a smooth combat trigger, and an internal key-lock safety make this 686-6 variant notable for both range use and lawful carry in states such as California.

The 686 Plus designation signifies a seven-shot cylinder, delivering increased capacity over the standard six-shot 686 while retaining the same L-frame contours for holster compatibility.
A full-lug, solid-rib 4-inch barrel adds forward weight for controlled recoil and houses a pinned red-ramp front sight, matched with a fully adjustable white-outline rear sight for precise elevation and windage changes.
The satin stainless finish resists corrosion and scratches, and both frame and cylinder are machined from solid stainless steel for strength when firing full-power .357 Magnum loads.
A smooth, flash-chromed combat trigger works in either double-action or single-action mode, complemented by a hammer block safety and an internal key-operated lock for added security during storage or transport.
The finger-groove rubber grip with S&W logo medallions offers a secure, recoil-absorbing hold suitable for duty carry, competition, or home defense.
