When a world champion shooter talks, the company that sponsors him usually listens. That's what happened when speed champion Jerry Miculek asked to have the Smith & Wesson 9 mm revolver make a return. And while Miculek likely had only winning his next match in mind when he asked for the 8-shot 929 9 mm, other shooters will find the 7-shot 986 appropriate for a variety of uses. Regardless of your application-hunting, concealed carry or competition-visit the S&W Performance Center to find a custom solution. Watch the video below as Smith & Wesson Paul Pluff shows off the S&W Performance Center's newest wheel guns.
