Smith & Wesson Model 386 Nightguard, 3 inch, .357 Magnum

Lipsey’s is proud to announce the return of the legendary Smith & Wesson Night Guard, reintroduced as a Lipsey’s Exclusive with modern enhancements designed for today’s shooters. Originally produced in the early 2000s, the Night Guard has been thoughtfully updated while staying true to its rugged, hard-use heritage.

The new Night Guard lineup includes the Model 386 chambered in .357 Magnum with a 7-shot capacity. Both models deliver big-bore power in a lightweight package, featuring a scandium frame paired with a stainless steel cylinder.

Lipsey’s collaborated closely with Smith & Wesson to enhance the original design. Key updates include a 3-inch barrel, a ball detent lock-up for increased strength and durability, and a thicker forcing cone. The revolvers are equipped with a fully adjustable rear sight with a 150-notch, an XS 130-width front night sight, and a square-top profile that allows for fast target acquisition up close while maintaining accuracy at distance. Bantam grips complete the package, providing excellent recoil absorption and control.
