Smith & Wesson 386 Sc/S

The Smith & Wesson 386 Sc/S is a medium-large revolver built on Smith & Wesson's L-frame, introduced in 2005. Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 7-round cylinder. The frame is constructed from scandium alloy, significantly reducing weight compared to traditional steel-framed revolvers of similar size. The 2.5-inch barrel provides a good balance between concealability and sight radius for defensive applications. At 475g (16.8 oz) unloaded, this lightweight revolver strikes a practical balance between carry comfort and manageable recoil during shooting sessions. Smith & Wesson has been producing L-frame revolvers for over four decades, continuously refining the platform with improved metallurgy, ergonomics, and manufacturing techniques while maintaining the fundamental reliability and accuracy that has made their double-action revolvers the benchmark against which all others are measured.
