586 values

[BAM-BAM]

What's the current market value of a 6" 586 in " really good" condition?


Saw one in a LGS yesterday asking $650 ....... going back to check it out later today.

I had a really nice 686-3 6" that I sold for $700 6 years ago. Sold to a dealer at a gun show. Great shooter! Depending on condition would say it is a decent price. Bob

If by "good" you mean a lot of honest wear (used but not abused) and mechanically excellent, I would guess a fair price would be $500-$700, depending on what region of the country you are in. In NW Louisiana, that price would not be out of the ordinary.

650$ sounds about right. If the condition is as you describe, I would buy it.

I paid $875.00 for this one last year. It's an early no dash with a target hammer, wide, grooved target trigger, and a Patridge front sight. It's an unusual, if not rare configuration. The combat stocks came on it as well. It showed no signs of use and the finish is beautiful. I sold the stocks because they're not for me, so I have about $650.00 in it now. I never felt that I overpaid, even at the original price, and especially in this market.

I would say that was a great deal you made.

$650 is a steal if you ask me. I would buy it at $650 and I already have 2 of them. One is a 6" much like the one you described

I have a no dash, and a dash 1.It would take a lot more than $650 for me to consider selling.

I'd say $600-$650 would be a good deal if it is mechanically sound, no rust, just worn bluing from holster wear, and no excessive barrel forcing cone erosion/top strap erosion. Now I'm sure someone is going to come along in the next post or two and talk about the NIB one they bought for $400... twelve years ago, but I'm speaking of today's inflation adjusted market.

Ha. These types of post make me chuckle. "What's the value?" The value is what someone is willing to pay for something. If I'm a buyer, I may think the value is $500. If I'm the seller, I may think the value is $1000. What I usually do is go to gunbroker and search thru the "sold items". Try to find something that closely resembles what I have and go from there. Hope that helps.

I think you're in the ballpark at $650. I acquired this 586-3 at the Crossroads show in PHX, Dec 2022 for $700. I replaced the aftermarket rubber grips and two screws, and had a local gunsmith check it out. $900 all in. Worth every penny, IMO.
