A “Collector must have” , the “3-5-7” Magnum Series features the Model 686 Plus Deluxe with custom black/silver “357” wood grips, unfluted cylinders and is available in three barrel lengths, 3” – 5” – 7”. Chambered with 7 rounds of .357 Magnum, the all stainless steel Model 686 Plus Deluxe offers compact powerful protection, sport shooting and collecting all in one.
This Smith & Wesson 686 PLUS Revolver comes equipped with Black/Silver “357” Custom Wood Grips.
Purchase the 5 inch barrel for greater accuracy and not 6+ for better balance. Was getting 4 inch groups at 15 with 38 spl and 3 inch groups with 357, 125 grain, which is good for me. I have fired 2,000 rounds approximately and about 3/4s have been 357s. The performance is a 4 due to the rear sight cracking. Love the unique length, 7 rounds, and grips. Would highly recommend the SW 686+.
