The carbon steel on the 586 was more durable than the 686 stainless in abrasion areas like the hand & ratchet teeth, among other things. Workmanship was better on the 586's than on current 686 variants, and they had no mim parts and no locks just to say a few things. And no MIM, no Hole.

It's built just fine and I don't want to get a trigger job because it's smooth as silk and I'd be afraid a 'trigger job' would mess it up. Single action is is a touch. Shoots much better than I do. The 586 is a super fine gun, but I don't think it's 'better' than a 686. One thing I like about the stainless steel is that I can get the stains off the front of the cylinder with worrying about wear on the bluing.
