I have a 586-8 in a 4" barrel. I have thought about changing the barrel to a 6". I called Smith & Wesson and they said to change it out the price would be around $200. This would include the new barrel and labor, and I would get the 4" barrel back. All my other 357 magnums have 4" barrels. I'm looking for opinions on this. Or are there any other less expensive options. I appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.
$200 for factory work plus the old barrel, seems reasonable to me. I have both barrel lengths and like them both, a lot, for their different characteristics.
