Developed in 1980, the Smith & Wesson 686 has been an iconic revolver and also the best selling firearm S&W has released. It is a show stopper for reliabilty and power. It's only drawback is it's weight and lack of firepower at only 7 rounds in the Plus model, but a superb home defense and hunting sidearm.

  • hollow point for a home defense bullet?

  • @cutenukkah Always! Reduces the chance of over penetration. A major concern in close quarters urban combat.

  • Did you polish this gun?

  • @TheFirearmEnthusiast Yes. Flitz and a Dremel.

  • how much does one of those go for i really like the design and the fact that its stainless steel and chrome plated makes it ever more sweeter...

  • @stigmatic79 It is not chrome, I just polished it.

  • i really want a new revolver but moneys an issue so do you any goood sites to buy this cheap? otherwise ill be getting a glock 17 -_- i foud them at 500$

  • YES! hollow-point bullets are for home defense. The "mushrooming" of the bullet prevents over penetration, which is ideal for close quarters: non hollow-point bullets(FMJ) can easily pass through a person and continue through a wall and harm someone on the other side!

  • also comes in a 4.2 inch barrel length for the Canadian market

  • @buckwheat40

    625JM - It's nice in that is comes from the factory already cut for moon clips(nice). 45 ACP is a good round, but in a revolver without the moonclip, the bullet will not hold in the chamber, so without a moonclip you can't shoot.

    625 JM comes with a wood grip(which looks better IMO) but also only comes in 4inches. This gun was designed with competition in mind. Moon clips are faster than speed loaders but it's easier to bend a moon clip which will make it useless. Just my opinion

  • how do you like the hks speed loader? I'm buying the 686 soon but do not know anything really about good loaders...

  • how would this gun compare to the 625 JM?

  • 38 will kill just as good as 357
