Love this magnum...
Love this magnum firearm for Target and Protection. Purchased both .357 and .38 Special cartridges to use as needed at the range. The S&W .357 magnum revolver is well balanced and fun to use. I have always had my eye on one ever since I sold them to my customers at the sports store. Made in the USA 🇺🇸 See you at the range - be sure to bring eye and eye protection. Shoot on! 🇺🇸

A: Size is "L" frame. Material is SAE 416 stainless hardened to about 30 HRC.
Author: Mark G.
A: It's an "L" frame ....I have two ,....two of my shooting buddies also have 686's. I'm assuming the guys saying "J frame" are making a joke. Hard to imagine anyone one this site could miss this at all ...much less two frame sizes off. FYI....from small to large it's a J,K,L,X . If your talking about the grip frame,...it appears to be a square frame. Although the new 686, 3-5-7 model is a round butt frame. With all the new grip shapes it can be hard to tell the shape of the frame....square or round.

A: This is an L frame, which uses the same size grips as a K frame. From small to large it's J,K,L,N,X (someone forgot N). Additionally, the governor series are denoted as a Z frame. Hope this helps!
