I got my 325 Thunder Ranch on March 23rd. since I'm in law enforcement, I convicned the the Chief to let me buy this and carry this gun on duty. I went to the range to qualify with my new gun and received 7 failure to fires in 18 rounds. I was using smith and wesson factory moon clips with...

When you are talking about accuracy please explain a little more. If this gun can't hit the front side of a barn at 25 yards then yes, this would be a huge concern. If this gun can keep all rounds on target then I'm O.K. with that. Having all the rounds go into the X ring is not something I...

Just one question, I noticed that on the 325 Thunder Ranch that the ejector rod is shorter due to the ball detent lockup. How does this effect the ejection of the moon clips and do the cases and moon clips drop free?

I was looking to buy one of these to carry on duty. I find it concerning that the barrel nut can come loose. Maybe I should look at another option.

Very nice 586 RonJon. I have one very similar. The only difference is the font sight on mine. I picked mine up in December and it's pretty nice. Here's a pic:

Is the porting on your 325PD factory or did you have it done somewhere?

________________________________________________ I'd like to know what that green stuff is around the forcing cone. ________________________________________________ Don't know but it cleaned up nicely!

Nice 586, I just picked one up myself... You got a better price than I did though..

I was thinking of having the cylinder on my 625 chamfered as well. I was going to send it back to S&W so they could do this for me. What was the cost of the tools to do this yourself?

No there are no dash numbers on the gun, what do the dash numbers mean? I'm new to this and have just started to get the itch for revolvers over the semi-autos. Apparently this can be contagious. Now I want a Lew Horton .45 acp or a 325 Thunder Ranch.

Just bought my first 586 today. Pictures were taken before I cleaned it. Picked it up for $400, Santa was nice to me this year. Can't wait to shoot it.... I showed you mine, show yours if you got em.

I used to shoot 125g Nyclads but you can't get them anymore. A good compromise from the Gold Dot's which are probably one of the best rounds on the market would be 125g Remington Golden Sabres. I'm not sure I would want to shoot 158's out of that gun and definately not while practicing. I...

I'm on the west coast, Washington State....

I have the opportunity to purchase a 6" 586. I was thinking of offering $400 for the gun and was wondering if this was a fair price. I have attached pictures of it and keep in mind that the gun is dirty. Apparently it wasn't cleaned after the last time it was shot. Overall it looks pretty...
