S&W 586

itchy300

6" barrel, no dash, blue, factory rubber grips, and the recall has been done. 95% gun. What's the value? I can't post pics so if someone wants me to email the pics so they can post them, I'd be glad to. Potential purchase and all help will be appreciated.

My 586 has the dash 1 with the 'M' modification. I noted that the dash was an issue with a couple of sellers here. So what gives if the modification was done? Is this supposed to diminish the gun's value? What would an 'expert' value it at? It is nickel w/6" barrel pachmeyer grips, v good cond.
Thank you!

It's not like that one, it's pretty standard. I've never been able to find where the completed auctions were.

Pros and cons of them? I've never had one or shot one.

62fuelie

Pros: The under-lug gives a slightly better muzzle biased weight balance for shot to shot recovery and sighting stability; the frame is slightly heavier/thicker than the K-frames for durability with full-house loads; the trigger geometry has been tweaked for even smoother more consistent pull for double action shooting; it uses K-frame grips, so it fits smaller hands but can have larger grips put on to suit other's needs.
Cons: It is a little heavier so for a gun that will be "carried a lot and only shot a little" the weight on the hip may be a factor (that being said, I walked a beat with a 6" M-28 "Highway Patrolman" in a Hoyt break-front for some time and it didn't kill me).

Compared to the standard medium "K" frame Smith guns, these "L" frame guns are heavier, making them a little harder to carry but nicer to shoot.

Barrel lug reduces muzzle flip, but also makes gun a tiny bit slower to point. (See how every positive could also be a negative, depending on your perspective?).

Main point/advantage of these is that the forcing cone has been beefed up to handle a steady diet of full .357 magnum loads. The K-frame guns don't really like the full power loads (especially lighter 125 bullet weight ones) and can develop cracks in the forcing cone and other issues with lots of full power magnum rounds.

The guns are just intrinsically tougher than the K-frames, which really were an evolution of a 19th century design originally intended for low pressure black-powder rounds.
