Chambered for .357 Magnum, they&#8217;re both extremely versatile and can shoot a huge range of loads without issue.<\/p>\n<p>The guns sport a satin stainless steel finish and chromed hammers and triggers for improved lubricity and durability. They also have solid, unfluted cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>The combination doesn&#8217;t look bad, either. Complete with their full black synthetic grips and rear sights the guns have a bold two-tone appearance.<\/p>\n<p>The upgraded guns have oversized, extended cylinder release levers and custom teardrop hammers. The triggers also come with overtravel stops to ensure short trigger pulls and clean breaks.<\/p>\n<p>The new models feature thinned and vented, ribbed barrels with fully adjustable rear sights and big bright orange front sights.The front sight is interchangeable with different types or colors of sights.<\/p>\n<p>The barrels also have tapered full-length underlugs. This type of underlug is designed to help control recoil without adding a lot of weight at the muzzle. This improves the gun&#8217;s balance and makes it fast and easy to get on target.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/smith-686\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"smith-wesson-new-686-revolvers\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson Cranking Out Two Hot New Model 686 Revolvers\">Revolver Kings: S&amp;W 686 Full Review<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_82230\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82230\" title=\"Smith &amp; Wesson Cranking Out Two Hot New Model 686 Revolvers\" class=\"wp-image-82230 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/performance-center-686-plus-400x241.jpg\" alt=\"Smith &amp; Wesson Cranking Out Two Hot New Model 686 Revolvers\" width=\"400\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/performance-center-686-plus-400x241.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/performance-center-686-plus-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/performance-center-686-plus.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-82230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 5-inch Performance Center Plus model.<em> (Photo: S&amp;W)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The 4-inch Performance Center 686 measures in at 9.5 inches long and weighs 38 ounces.

Every action is hand-fit for custom-level performance at production prices.<\/p>\n<p>These Performance Center guns command a slight price premium &#8212; but not much. Both have a suggested price of $966, which is only a little more than $100 for all the upgrades.
