Ready Stock Smith & Wesson Model 686 .357 Magnum – Home Defense guns
The Smith & Wesson Model 686 is a six-shot double action revolver chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge. It was produced from 1985 to 1999 by Smith & Wesson, who had previously discontinued the model in 1986 due to lagging sales. The 686 is based on S&W’s K-Frame and has a shrouded hammer.
The Model 686 has been used by several US police departments as a backup weapon or for off-duty carry. It is also popular with hunters and those who enjoy shooting sports such as cowboy action shooting and IDPA competition shooting because of its accuracy, reliability, light recoil and manageable muzzle blast.
