getting this in trade tomorrow and really don't need a revolver as much as i could use cash. buyer described it having light holster wear near the muzzle.

That's a good price if it is not shot out, ask him for the model number on the frame behind the yoke arm. The 586 is blued steel and 686 is stainless. I'm in love with my 586! Good luck with the sale.

the 586 was also offered in bright nickel, which can fool some to think it is polished stainless....if it is nickel, it will have case hardened hammer & trigger if original....if it is stainless, it will have stainless trigger & hammer. It will also be clearly marked inside the frame to the left side where the cylinder closes, ie., 586-1.... 686-1, etc.

If it's a 686 then I'm not sure what "holster wear near the muzzle" looks like other than the stainless being a little more shiny from rubbing. If it's a nickle 586 then holster wear can get pretty ugly, but I've only seen that once or twice, if the nickel is cloudy there's nothing you can really do to fix it. Also, it's pretty hard to 'shoot them out', although they can be fired enough that the cylinder lock up isn't what it should be, check it by lowering the hammer while holding the trigger back and see if the cylinder has any 'wobble'. If the pistol is in good shape that is a very good price.

there was actually a recall on these and some 686's due to jamming with .357 ammo (not .38)

Just had my 586 returned from Smith with the recall fix.
Took about 3 weeks door-to-door and Smith picked up the tab.

Sorry for your loss...
Funny how those that don't know, worry 'bout this stuff...
I've a friend recently bought a pistol, first one, and was eager to get it registered, so's she could go shoot it...
fkn flakes. p

586-Recall

Here's the work that is done under the recall, from the forum:

"The problem arose when some of the guns, including -1's, were fired with Federal .357 ammo. The primers being softer than other brands, cratered more when struck by the hammer nose, and backed up into the hammer nose bushing, keeping the cylinder from turning when the gun was cocked either by double action or single action. The modification included a new slightly shorter & smaller in diameter hammer nose, and a new hammer nose bushing with a smaller diameter hole for the hammer nose to pass through."

I hadn't heard of the recall, and I've never had any trouble with my 686. Sounds like it's more of a problem with hot loads/soft primers. It's probably worth checking into. Apparently it only applies to the "no dash" and -1 models. Mine is a -4
