The Smith & Wesson 686+ has the more versatile round butt grip frame that can accommodate a wide selection of aftermarket grips to suit any hand size. With its intermediate size and weight, it is comfortable to grip by its finger grooved grip. Its overall configuration allows for a good position of the trigger finger around the narrow smooth trigger. The narrow, smooth trigger allowed the finger to roll over its surface, preventing the tendency to pull the sights off target during the long double action stroke.
