I rescued a 586!

[DMSC]

I found this 586-3 4" at a local gun store and decided that HAD to rescue it!

It's in pretty good condition for a twenty year old gun. It's got a bit of rust on the trigger guard and back strap area but otherwise...the finish is nice. She locks up nice and tight, too.

Yep, it's a matte finish. I was wondering how many were made and who/why they were made different.

Massad Ayoob writes about the S&W 686 in his new magazine The Complete Book Of Handguns saying they are very accurate. He includes the 586 too. Having never shot one, but knowing Massad's reputation I'm betting it's accurate. Frank

Nice rescue!!

I have never seen one with the matte finish. Its cool to have something different!

Very Nice, the mod 586 (esp.-3)4 & 6" are our favorites. That matte finish is now on our wish list!

I own a 686 and have fired a 586. They are a joy.

So, can I just go down to the "gun pound" and adopt one too?

Very nice gun. I have been thinking about adding another 686 or 586 to the family. That one sure looks nice. I hope you got a good deal.

LOL! The trick is to visit the gun pound as frequently as is possible. Hard to do around here as we have quite a few to visit!

Very good looking gun! ... it would be even better fitted with some serious wood.

Thanks for the pics and post,

Great Rescue, I'm sure the gun is very grateful.

Nice find! man that would look great with some light wood stocks.

I got to shoot it this evening. I'd forgotten just how nice the L-Frame guns shoot!
