586 Model Year

[DufRuf]

Would you please help with the vintage on a pristine 586 I just bought, serial #ACJ7529?
Thank you so much

Hello SCSW dates it to 1983

Thanks again for your help. That makes it a 586 no dash. Are you familiar with a recall they had on these about cylinder binding? Mine has not had the fix.

I purchased a 586 (no dash) about 6 months ago and promptly called Smith & Wesson. They arranged for the free repair and round trip shipping of the gun. I'm not sure it was necessary, but figured "it couldn't hurt"!
