The new 357 Mountain Gun is a Model 686 – that’s the “L” medium frame, a step above the 38 Special frame, the “K.” It’s a 686+, meaning there’s a seven-shot cylinder. I like that approach.
The gun features a four-inch skinny barrel, except it’s not skinny in the classic sense. It’s more substantial than earlier S&W revolver barrels. The front sight features a gold bead, a nice touch. As a 686, it’s fabricated from stainless steel and it features a modern iteration of Bear Hug “Grips” from Tyler Gun Works.
The MSRP isn’t cheap, at nearly $1,200.
