The Smith & Wesson Model 986 is the company’s more unique robust medium-sized, single or double-action revolver. It is based on Smith & Wesson L-Frame that is able to handle .357 Magnum or even .44 Magnum ammunition, but this revolver is unique because it is chambered in the 9x19mm cartridge, a cartridge normally reserved for semi-auto pistols. The front sight is a fixed, red ramp, and the rear one is adjustable. The cylinder can accommodate 7 cartridges, which is quite a high capacity for a gun of this size. Moon clips are also included. A moon clip is a piece of metal for simultaneous insertion and extraction of bullets. The Model 986 comes in two variants, a shorter, 2.5-ich barreled version with wooden grips and a larger, 5-ich version, from Performance Center Pro Series, that comes with rubberized grips and a fluted titanium cylinder and a crowned barrel. The barrel and frame are both made of stainless steel. This is a revolver with nearly 175 years long history, so definitely desired by retro fans or basically any gun lovers.
