S&W 586 (How Much?)

[backalow]

I have the opportunity to purchase a 6" 586. I was thinking of offering $400 for the gun and was wondering if this was a fair price. I have attached pictures of it and keep in mind that the gun is dirty. Apparently it wasn't cleaned after the last time it was shot. Overall it looks pretty nice, there are some marks around the front sight and the grips looked used. I look forward to hearing back from everyone.

I'd be very interested for $400. I believe the front sight has been modified but it looks like it was nicely done and for target shooting, I like that sight configuration.

If you get that gun for 400 bucks you had better give him a big kiss.

It is worth closer to 500.

I guess it depends on where you are. I paid $425 for a pretty nice 4' 586 a year ago, and saw a nicer one about three weeks ago at the Mesquite (TX) gun show for $400.

I'm on the west coast, Washington State....

I paid $650 for my 586 Pre-Lock.

Sir, FWIW, that'd be about a $500 gun around here.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

Saw one at the Cabela's in Buda, TX for $500 in their used case.

They go for about $400 at the gun shows in the DFW area. I'd like to know what that green stuff is around the forcing cone.
