The 4 in heavy barrel with a full-length underlug and shrouded ejector rod provides a solid, balanced front end. A longitudinally serrated rib reduces glare and complements the target-focused sighting arrangement.
The DA/SA action uses a smooth-faced trigger and exposed hammer. As a -4 engineering revision, it retains the traditional pre-MIM hammer and trigger components and comes in a pre-lock configuration.
Sighting is handled by an orange-insert ramp front and a fully adjustable square-notch rear, allowing precise alignment. The yoke is marked 686-4, and the revolver is built on the stainless-steel L-Frame platform.
The six-shot fluted cylinder, stainless construction throughout, and black Hogue Monogrip with finger grooves and S&W medallion round out a purposeful, durable setup. This model was marketed by S&W as the "Distinguished Combat Magnum."
