Default Unicorn - 586-4 3"

I recently acquired this Beautiful 586-4 3". No box or paperwork, but this one is in Really Nice shape. I thought I might as well show it with my 686-4 3".

Nice gun.... had one back in the 90s I was the second owner as it came to me with Spegel Boot Grips; but found I'd opt for a 3" 66 for .357 EDC or a 4" 686 for shooting magnums at the range. Traded it off for a Performance Center Shroty-9.

Going back to the 3" HB model 10 you wonder why a 3" HB round butt K frame didn't catch on as a regular catalogued item. The balance, recoil recovery & CCW of it all form the perfect combination of features for the wheel gun aficionado.
Unfortunately the younger striker fire plastic fantastic fans outnumber us, and just by sheer numbers outvote us so thats who gun makers cater to.
Administrators, If I was inappropiate in my last statement please just strike that out. I just had a senior moment...
