This video provides a first look at the Smith & Wesson Model 386 Night Guard, a scandium-framed L-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. The presenter highlights its lightweight yet durable construction, a 3-inch barrel with a full-length extractor rod, ball detent lockup, Hogue Bantam grips, and an adjustable rear sight. It's presented as a capable defensive carry option.
The Smith & Wesson Night Guard series is back, with the reintroduction of the 386 Plus (7-shot .357 Magnum) and the 396 (5-shot .44 Special). While the return of these lightweight scandium-frame revolvers is celebrated, the instructor notes potential shortcomings, specifically the use of stainless steel cylinders instead of titanium and the departure from the original combat-style rear sights. The 386 Plus is highlighted as a particularly exciting return for concealed carry.
