What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 686-4 revolver
The 686-4 is built on the robust stainless steel L-Frame and finished in satin/brushed stainless. Its six-shot, six-flute stainless cylinder, knurled cylinder release, and checkered hammer spur provide practical control and durability in a proven .357 Magnum platform.
The 6 in full-length underlug barrel with a serrated rib offers steady balance and a clear sighting plane. Sights include a ramp front with an orange/red insert and an adjustable square-notch rear, allowing precise point-of-aim adjustments.
This pre-lock, pre-MIM configuration retains the hammer-mounted firing pin and forged hammer and trigger. The smooth combat-style, forged trigger complements the double-action/single-action setup, and the noted trigger tune delivers a smooth stroke with a crisp break.
Factory checkered hardwood stocks with S&W medallions complete the classic presentation. The frame is rollmarked Made in U.S.A., Springfield, Massachusetts, underscoring its domestic manufacture in the 1990s era.
