We were having a discussion about sights on a 586 - to answer the question I checked my 586 this morning:
Calling All 586 Owners
My follow up question is about barrel length - and it's not like I don't know how to measure a barrel - I might not know what the internals of my guns are but I know their barrels. But, sometimes, issues arise, such as this one:
Because I had my 586 in my hand, and because just yesterday I was discussing an amazing long shot that I made with it a year or two ago, I was thinking, "How long is the barrel of my 586?" I told the guy in my discussion it was 6 inches. But here's the problem: From the muzzle to the frame that barrel is just about exactly 5 inches. If I move the ruler back to include the frame it still does not reach 6 inches. The SCSW says the 586 came in various barrel lengths but not 5 inches.
Someone please explain this to me.
Thanks.
