S&W Prototype 686-3 PC Stainless – Judy Woolley

Description

This isn’t your everyday revolver. The Smith & Wesson Model 686-3 Performance Center prototype is a one-off piece built for someone who knew how to win. Shipped on March 1, 1991, and custom-crafted for competitive legend Judy Woolley, this .357 Magnum isn’t just rare—it’s part of shooting sports history.

Let’s talk features. The revolver features a heavy 6-inch barrel topped with a compensator, which helps tame recoil and keep shots on target. Scope mounts are integrated with precision in mind, and it’s currently paired with a Sightron pistol scope—an ideal combo for serious accuracy. Whether you’re on the range or showing it off in your display case, it’s got presence.

Now, here’s the real magic: the Performance Center tuning. Everything from the buttery-smooth double-action pull to the crisp single-action break has been dialed in by Smith & Wesson’s top gunsmiths. Balance, trigger control, and recoil management all come together to create a revolver that’s practically made for matches like the Bianchi Cup.

But it’s not just about specs—it’s about story. With Judy Woolley’s name attached to it, this prototype carries more than mechanical excellence; it carries legacy. It’s a glimpse into the era when revolvers ruled the circuit and legends were made one shot at a time.

Whether you’re collecting rare Smith & Wessons or you appreciate the roots of competitive shooting, this revolver brings it all together—history, performance, and a whole lot of personality.
