Overview

The Smith & Wesson 686 Plus is a stainless steel L-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. It is a seven-shot variant of the standard six-shot Model 686, introduced in 1996. The 686 Plus was designed to offer increased firepower without enlarging the frame size. It uses a seven-shot cylinder that is slightly shorter than the standard cylinder to fit the L-frame. The revolver retains all the features of the standard 686, including the full underlug barrel and adjustable sights. The 686 Plus was adopted by law enforcement agencies that wanted extra capacity. It remains a popular choice for hunters, competitors, and revolver enthusiasts.
