The Model 986 is an L-Frame gun, which is much beefier than the J-Frame I longed for 20 years ago. However, the larger frame gives the gun several benefits a smaller gun doesn’t have. First, the Model 986 is large enough to handle a seven-round cylinder. This gives it a greater capacity than some of the 9mm pistols being designed for concealed carry today. The Performance Center went with an unfluted cylinder made of titanium. This gives it good strength without adding much weight to the package. The cylinder is gray, which contrasts nicely with the matte stainless finish of the frame and barrel. The colors give the gun an understated multi-tone look. Because the gun is designed for a rimless cartridge, it ships with moon clips to hold the ammunition.
