Great deals but don’t know if those are MA “assault weapons”/compliant.

I had one like this but the SS flaked off
Seems high but I imagine Mass is a high price market. I don't think there's anything special about the no dash guns but I don't collect L frames.
The market for the 940 is all over the place. 9mm revolver is a niche market. It might sell tomorrow, it might sit in the case for a year. I don't see even up happening.

Kidding. That last link was for a “ Stainless Smith & Wesson Model 586 - 1 357 Magnum Revolver 6” Pachmayr”
Looks nickel plated to me.

LGS buy at wholesale, sell at retail. Just watch Pawn Stars. They will offer 50% of what they think they can sell it for. They are in business to make money.
Still waiting to hear about the bad breakdowns on some of the most durable revolvers ever made.

Is this a"target of opportunity" or something you've been looking for? Is a "no dash" what you want or will any L frame fill the bill? You a "lockor no lock" guy? All these make a difference in price some more than others. What the shop has in it....thats their business& will make a difference in their negoations but not what you value the piece at unless they over paid for it(not likley) good luck!

need some schooling...whats the "M" stamp mean?
The shop is notoriously high on all their stuff. I’m not looking it is merely a case where I once had one and regretted selling it ever since. Definitely a “no lock” kinda guy.
Will try to get back to the shop today……

I bought a 686 no dash 4" last fall for around $750 from my local LGS in Minnesota. I'd pass on that deal. Another will come up.

I found a very nice 686 no dash with a 4" barrel early last year. Paid $800.

Curious of your gun has the M stamped on the crane
If you want it and can afford it........
...go for it. It's a tad steep for me, BUT when I bought mine, I was looking hard for one and would have paid a little higher price to get what I wanted and I found a beauty. I've never regretted buying it. It will probably be the last of my guns to go when I'm ready to back off, but my son will probably end up with it.

I agree. It’s a bit steep, but if it’s within your means… I doubt in a few months that you’ll regret getting it. I’ve “overpaid” for a handful of my S&W revolvers that I REALLY wanted the last few years. And I don’t have a regret at all. I now have them. As people have said on this forum: “You didn’t pay too much, you just bought a little early”. Up to you and your budget, but a 686 4” ND is a fine revolver.
