The Model 986 is a full-size L-Frame revolver engineered for 9mm Luger, offering 7-round capacity in a robust stainless-steel build. Its titanium alloy cylinder is machined for moon clips, pairing lightweight strength with reliable extraction for rimless cartridges. The yoke is stamped 986 and the barrel is marked 9MM for quick identification.
The 5 in stainless barrel is slab-sided with a precision crown, partial underlug, and longitudinal relief cuts. A serrated top rib reduces glare, and the sighting system consists of a pinned Patridge front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight for precise point-of-aim adjustment.
Controls and ergonomics are focused and purposeful: a smooth-faced trigger supports double-action/single-action operation, the hammer has an exposed serrated spur, and the cylinder release is checkered for secure manipulation. An internal key lock is integrated into the design.
