Hi, I was wondering if anyone outthere could help me figure out what this is. I came across a smith 586-3. It has a 3inch barrel and unfluted cylinder. I cant find any info on it, and it isnt listed in my standard catalog of smith and wesson. Unfortunately, the guy i bought it from no longer had the box. Any help at all what/where etc...

    It sounds like it could be a Lew Horton S&W Special. S&W made special runs for Lew Horton, and they usually had 3" barrels. This is just a guess.

    Look on the Smith & Wesson web site. For a few bucks and some info about your gun thay can give you the history of the weapon. I have a
    686 that was made for sale only at their retail stores (all closed now) Although 400 were planned only 100 were made. The letter I have from them was very detailed and I feel makes the gun worth a bit more.
