I just bought my second 586 last week. My first was a 586 no dash. This one has a 6 inch barrel, and it came with a Nickle finish. I also got the box and tool set, and all the paperwork with it. The one I just got last week is a 586-3. A forum member helped me date this one, it was built between April and September of 1993. This revolver also came with the box and papers and tool set. It's blued, has a 4 inch barrel and it came with S&W Finger Groove stocks and the original Combat Grips. This one was listed for $600.00 but I got the price down, and I am Happy with it. I will have pics posted soon..Ray
