Without a factory letter it's not possible to say with absolute certainty, but it likely shipped in 1986.
You got me curious...
I always assumed the Springfield factory, but it ain't so:
Smith & Wesson has three facilities that make revolvers in the United States: Deep River, Connecticut; Houlton, Maine; and Springfield, Massachusetts. The company also has a headquarters in Maryville, Tennessee.
Explanation
Smith & Wesson announced in 2021 that it would move its headquarters from Springfield, Massachusetts to Maryville, Tennessee. The company also closed facilities in Connecticut and Missouri.
The company has a long history of making firearms in Springfield, dating back to the mid-1800s. Smith & Wesson has made revolvers at its current manufacturing facility in Springfield since the mid-1900s.
The company's new 650,000-square-foot facility in Maryville, Tennessee opened in October 2023. The move to Tennessee was intended to streamline manufacturing and distribution operations.
