I haven't had a pistol in a few decades, and only recently found out about the 586 having been brought back. I miss my blue 6" that I had in the 80's, and am looking into getting a new one. Can anyone confirm that while most of the S&W catalogue seems to be on the California list (Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale - Firearms Division - California Dept. of Justice - Office of the Attorney General, the 586 seems conspicuously absent?
