🔍 How to Verify Your Model Number
To confirm compatibility with your Smith & Wesson revolver:
- Open the cylinder by pressing the cylinder release and swinging it out to the left
- Look behind the yoke (the crane that holds the cylinder) on the frame
- Find the model number stamped into the frame - it should read "686" or "Model 686"
Note: Model numbers began in 1957-58. If your revolver has no model number, it may be a pre-model designation firearm. Contact us with your serial number for compatibility verification.
