My 3" 686+ is one of my favorites and I would use it for every day carry but for the fact it's too shiny. I wish S&W would make a 3" round butt 586. I think that'd be a great carry piece.

With the popularity of 3 inch barrel revolvers, I don't understand why S&W doesn't make more of them. They currently make the 586, 64, 625 and others, and have made them in that length in the past. How hard could it be? Not like they have to change the frame or internals

I love the 586. A 3-inch would work for me.

Are they not still offering the Lcomp or is it just not a favorite flavor. I know there is one on my local armsilist but they are asking near $1000 with a few extras. I had one ages ago but didnt care for the porting

Maybe you could send it off and have it bead blasted to dull the shine?

The L- Comp is not my cup o'tea. Just a plain Jane six shot 586 maybe even with an HP matte finish.

How about a 4, matte finish?

The 3" barrel is my favorite length, I think they would do well making more of them also!

It's amazing to me how much easier it is to carry my 3"686 over a 4" GP. You wouldn't think that inch would make that much a difference but using the same holster for both ... the 3" is far easier to bring into play. I am not the tallest guy so maybe were I taller it wouldn't matter but I find the 1" makes a huge difference

I have had a S&W Bead Blast refinish on my M-67, when they rebuilt it. It's glossy finish was scratched up some from years of shooting and holstering. Now ....... I don't shoot it much. BUT......it looks a lot better. Bob
