Bought my 586 no years ago, and have had this problem w/ it locking up from day one.. Doesn't matter if its a light 38 or a 38+P or a magnum , it does it on all of them...
Didn't want to send it in cause I was afraid it might get scuffed or scratched up in the process of getting fixed..
My thoughts were that maybe someone would tell me how to fix it myself...????
