An Attractive Alternative: Smith & Wesson 986
The Smith & Wesson 986 appeals to LEOs as well as serious competitors.
The shield man on a SWAT entry team has a demanding job. He has to properly maintain the ballistic shield that protects the team members behind him, leaving only one hand for a firearm to protect himself. Handguns are the norm here, but semi-autos have proven problematic. Experience has shown that if the handgun’s slide brushes the shield while firing it can jam, and the shield man doesn’t have two hands available to clear it.
The Gun
Built from stainless steel on the smaller L-frame, the 986 features a 5-inch barrel and a titanium cylinder that trims the weight to 34.9 ounces. Chambered for 9mm, it holds seven rounds and is fed by moon clips. Moon clips must be used because while 9mm rounds will chamber without the clips, they will not fire. They sit far enough into the chamber that the firing pin won’t even dent the primer. The gun ships with two moon clips; additional clips are available. A black Patridge front sight, a black adjustable rear sight, and a hand-filling set of synthetic rubber grips complete the package.
Closing the Sale
Competitive revolver shooters will immediately recognize which games the 986 can play. Locating a source of moon clips is advised, given that only two are provided with the gun. That can add to sales. The 986 can also be attractive to those looking for a home-defense handgun. A revolver has a distinct advantage here. You can clean one, load it, toss it into a sock drawer, and 10 years later grab it and expect all rounds to fire. That’s not the case with semi-autos. Their springs can take a set, lubricants can congeal, so their reliability in long-term storage is questionable.
That’s a plus for home defense, especially in states that have restricted the magazine capacity of semi-auto handguns to 7–10 rounds. Ask a simple question: “If your home is invaded, would you rather have 7 rounds you know will fire, or 7 to 10 rounds you’re not sure of?”
