The Smith & Wesson Model 686 Plus Mountain Gun is a refined L-Frame revolver built for shooters who demand durability, smooth performance, and classic revolver craftsmanship in a lightweight field-ready configuration. Chambered in .357 Magnum and capable of firing .38 Special ammunition, this seven-shot revolver combines proven Smith & Wesson engineering with premium features designed for hunting, defensive carry, trail use, and range shooting.
A standout feature of this Mountain Gun configuration is its all-stainless steel construction, providing exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability in harsh outdoor environments. The polished stainless finish delivers a timeless appearance while also standing up to continuous Magnum use and heavy field conditions. The robust L-Frame design is engineered to handle powerful .357 Magnum loads while maintaining manageable recoil and dependable performance.
This model also features premium TGW Bear Hug grips crafted by Tyler Gun Works. These high-grade walnut grips are ergonomically shaped to provide a secure and comfortable hold while enhancing the revolver’s classic appearance. The Bear Hug grip design improves control during recoil and offers a natural feel in the hand, making the revolver comfortable for extended shooting sessions while preserving the traditional aesthetics revolver enthusiasts appreciate.
Another highly desirable feature is the revolver’s no internal lock design. Many revolver enthusiasts prefer this configuration for its traditional mechanical simplicity and uninterrupted frame appearance. Eliminating the internal lock system preserves the revolver’s classic styling while maintaining the straightforward reliability shooters expect from a premium defensive or field revolver.
The lightweight tapered barrel profile improves balance and handling, while the gold bead front sight enhances sight acquisition in varying lighting conditions. Combined with the seven-round cylinder capacity, polished stainless construction, and enhanced forcing cone design, the 686 Plus Mountain Gun delivers a versatile revolver platform capable of both rugged field use and refined range performance.
