Smith & Wesson has announced the release of two additions to its Spec Series, the new Spec Series R 686 Plus revolver and Spec Series VI M&P9 M2.0 Metal Compact pistol.
Spec Series R Model 686 Plus Revolver
Introducing the first-ever revolver from the Spec Series line: The Specs Series R. This model blends classic aesthetics with modern enhancements. Built on the robust L-frame Model 686, this seven-shot revolver is chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special +P and weighs 42.4 ounces. Its 4.13-inch stainless-steel barrel features a Power-Port at the end, reducing felt recoil and allowing for quicker target re-acquisition. Out of the box, it comes equipped with an extended Performance Center cylinder release, an Aimpoint ACRO P-2 red-dot sight mounted on a custom base for an exceptional sight picture and a red-ramp front sight and adjustable rear sight.
The Spec Series R frame features a durable Tungsten-color Cerakote finish that finely contrasts with its black-PVD, fluted cylinder and traditional checkered wood grips. Additional items included with the purchase are a Savior Equipment pistol bag, a Spec Series R knife, a challenge coin, patch and 10 compatible moon clips.
Spec Series VI M&P9 M2.0 Metal Compact Pistol
The Specs Series VI boasts a feature-rich design engineered to deliver unparalleled performance in a compact-carry platform. This new M&P pistol, chambered in 9mm, is constructed on a 7075 T-6 aluminum frame, showcases a distinct champagne Cerakote finish, and has a capacity of 15+1 rounds. The in-line porting at the 12 o’clock position of its 4-inch barrel efficiently expels gas in intervals, significantly reducing muzzle rise, which allows users to reacquire their target more quickly. At the base of the grip, a Floyds Custom Shop EDC magwell promotes a higher grip for improved control during firing while facilitating efficient reloads.
For compatibility, the three included 15-round magazines also feature Floyds Custom Shop EDC baseplates. To complete this ultimate concealed carry kit, this pistol includes an Aimpoint ACRO P-2 red-dot sight, which directly mounts to the slide from the factory, a Hunter Constantine Carry Belt and a Savior Equipment Pistol Bag. Customary to Spec Series models, this bundle also ships with a Spec Series VI knife, a challenge coin, and a patch.
