For sale or Trade, This is a rare opportunity to own a Smith & Wesson Model 686-3 with documented provenance. This revolver was manufactured in January 1992 and shipped directly from Smith & Wesson to Wischo, a well-known European firearms importer. European-market Smith & Wesson revolvers are highly collectible due to their unique features and limited availability in the U.S.
The revolver has been drilled and tapped professionally in Germany and includes two scope mounts and a Leupold Pistol scope. It has a chip in the lens but it still functions fine. The scope and scope mounts would retail for over $500 alone. The revolver is about as clean and nice as they come. I believe it is nice enough that you will be delighted with the investment you have made even one year from now. The action and timing on this firearm are dialed in perfectly. The bore and cylinder chambers are mint and the mechanical working order is flawless. I do not have the box or documents with this piece; it is just a classic Smith Revolver.
If you were trying to buy all this individually the cost would run you nearly 2K as the gun with rubber grips brings over 1K alone and the presentation targets are over $200 these days.
Wischo (short for "Wilhelm Schoenauer KG") is a respected European distributor specializing in high-quality firearms and accessories. Based in Erlangen, Germany, Wischo has been instrumental in importing premium firearms to European markets for decades. Their collaboration with Smith & Wesson helped bring American-made revolvers like this one to European enthusiasts, often with unique features such as different proof markings or minor design adaptations to comply with European regulations.
The Model 686-3 is part of Smith & Wesson’s esteemed L-frame series, designed to handle the demands of full-power .357 Magnum loads while delivering superb accuracy and durability. This particular revolver is outfitted with:
