Anybody have one of these? Considering buying one during the time Smith is offering the rebate, need one like a hole in the head but I kinda want one anyways, any feelings on them one way or the other appreciated.

I've got one from the pre lock days, and love it.  Carried it quite a bit in Narcotics.

They’re very nice revolvers even with the lock.

I jumped on one when they first came out.  Been a great shooter.

I believe they are around $800 before the rebate that’s a rough guess, then I believe the rebate is $75.

I’ve got a 3” 586 L-Comp but it’s close enough to a standard 586. I haven’t had any issues, shoots plenty accurate and been reliable.

No dash no M in blue.  Excellent gun.  Has one of the better stock Smith triggers of any of my revolvers.

I also have a 686-1 which I need to get out and stretch her legs.

I had 586 6" (sold it to fund a Desert Eagle when I was in Highschool) and my Dad has a 686 4".  Both shoot great.  If you are looking for a solid 357 revolver to add to your collection you won't be wrong.

Thanks again guys for the replies, and the pics of some sweet looking guns.

686s are such great shooters.

I own a 2 1/2" and a 6"+ that I had ported.

Both are great shooters and I wouldn't sell them but have thought some about something like a 4  or 4 1/2 might be fun .

Back 6 months or so ago I grabbed up a early 28-2 pinned and recessed blue .357 N frame with a 4 1/8". The N frame trigger (and heavy cylinder) make for a trigger that is not quite as nice as the L frames but still very nice . Has been keeping me busy

I have a blued 4" 586-3. Excellent trigger and a lot more accurate than I am.

I need to add a 586 (and a 581 and 681) to my collection. I could have grabbed a 4" version for $900 at the gun show a few weeks ago, but I chose to grab a 3.5" Model 43 and a 2" Model 40, instead.

I've got J,K,L & N frames Smiths, Colts & Rugers & Charter Arms and even a (solid) Taurus 85 just for reference.
I really love the blue 4" 586 a lot. It's just a great DA revolver for heavy use with magnums.
If I didn't have a need for 44 mag horsepower I'd happily live out my days with L frames. (I know I can get a 5 shot 44 mag L frame, I'd rather have 6)
If it turns out it's not your thing, resale is solid so no reason not to give her a shot.
The heavier 357 bullets available today let it creep up the usability scale but I love 357's and I love 586's.

This is top of my to-buy list. Didn't know there was a rebate going on!

Does this mean a mint looking 6" 586-M at $850 is FO worthy?

I have one.  It’s beautiful.   It’s too beautiful to shoot. So I’m selling it.
