From an engineering perspective, the 9mm requires a bit more ingenuity than another .38. The round doesn\u2019t have a rim, so seating the rounds in the chamber is more of a challenge. The 986 has a titanium cylinder which is incredibly light. The price will come in higher than a standard model, but it\u2019s going to sell well, as finding 9mm is much easier these days.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for something with even better performance statistics, check out the Jerry Miculek Signature 929. This gun is tricked out with chrome accents. The 6.5 inch barrel has a removable compensator. It even has chamfered charge holes. And if a seven round revolver isn\u2019t going to challenge your counting skills, the 292 might. It holds eight rounds.<\/p>\n<p>I put the 986 through its paces at the range earlier this week, and it performed well. Even with a filthy dirty gun that had been working on the range non-stop for hours, I was able to get some nice clean groups. Recoil feels a bit sharper than a standard .38, but nowhere near a .357. I think Smith &amp; Wesson may be on to something with these designs. We\u2019ve put in our requests for review guns, and we\u2019re eager to see how they stack up in side-by-side comparisons with some of Smith\u2019s time tested designs. We\u2019ll let you know just as soon as we do.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW002.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"smith-wesson-starts-2014-with-strong-new-additions-to-their-revolver-line-up-the-9mm-986-and-929-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson starts 2014 with strong new additions to their revolver line up: the 9mm 986 and 929\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17471\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson starts 2014 with strong new additions to their revolver line up: the 9mm 986 and 929\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW002-400x286.jpg\" alt=\"S&amp;W002\" width=\"308\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW002-400x286.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW002-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW002-1024x733.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW002.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW004.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"smith-wesson-starts-2014-with-strong-new-additions-to-their-revolver-line-up-the-9mm-986-and-929-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson starts 2014 with strong new additions to their revolver line up: the 9mm 986 and 929\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-17468\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson starts 2014 with strong new additions to their revolver line up: the 9mm 986 and 929\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW004-347x300.jpg\" alt=\"S&amp;W004\" width=\"278\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW004-347x300.jpg 347w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW004-150x129.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW004-1024x884.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW004-370x320.jpg 370w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW004.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW005.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"smith-wesson-starts-2014-with-strong-new-additions-to-their-revolver-line-up-the-9mm-986-and-929-shot-show-2014\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson starts 2014 with strong new additions to their revolver line up: the 9mm 986 and 929\u2014SHOT Show 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-17469\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson starts 2014 with strong new additions to their revolver line up: the 9mm 986 and 929\u2014SHOT Show 2014\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW005-400x254.jpg\" alt=\"S&amp;W005\" width=\"400\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW005-400x254.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW005-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW005-1024x650.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/SW005.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smith &amp; Wesson is still the undisputed reigning revolver champ.
