The 686-6 Plus configuration adds a seventh chamber to the fluted cylinder while maintaining the proven L-frame size. This example pairs that capacity with a 4-inch barrel, a full-length underlug, and an ejector-rod shroud for balance and durability in a compact, versatile length.
Its stainless steel construction includes the barrel, frame, and cylinder, all finished in satin stainless. The revolver uses adjustable iron sights, with a ramped front sight featuring an orange/red insert for clear sight focus and an adjustable rear for tuning point of impact.
This is a double-action/single-action revolver with the internal key lock present as a factory safety feature. The yoke is stamped "686-6," confirming the engineering change. Case labeling shows SKU 164194, corresponding to the 4-inch 686 Plus configuration.
Checkered finger-groove hardwood stocks with S&W medallions are installed, providing a traditional look and positive purchase. The original OEM rubber grips are also included, giving the buyer an additional factory grip option.
