Default Greetings from Geneva, Switzerland

Hello fellow S&W enthusiasts,

I recently purchased my first S&W revolver. It is a 586-3 .357 magnum with the serial no. BFH6466, shipped in November of 1990.

Growing up, I was always fascinated by my grandfather's WWII service sidearm, a S&W Hand Ejector 2nd Model, which is still in the family. The 586-3 therefore caught my interest from the moment I saw it. Just holding it one time, sealed the deal. In terms of build and finish quality, it feels that it is in a class of its own.

The gun is used, but in excellent working condition and very well maintained/serviced. I think it makes for an excellent collection piece as well as a fun and accurate range shooter.

I look forward to the S&W ownership experience, and being part of your community.

Best regards to all!

Welcome from Louisiana.
I was lucky to visit Geneva many times on Business trips, even once on vacation, a wonderful city.
