S&w 586-3

[rogerdogger]

well, i added another one to the growing collection, a Smith and Wesson 586-3, ser. no. BFR91xx, would any of my fellow Nutz be able to date this one for me??? also, it has a 6" barrel, with an adjustable front sight, i didn't get the manual with the gun, and can't find any info on the interweb, would anybody have info, or maybe a manual that they could scan and email to me??? there are 4 tiny allen screws in the sight, are they something i tinker with while sighting in, or is it preset and the wheel under the sight is all the adjustment i have??? Loving this boomer!!!! Dogger

Thanks for helping me out and posting the pics deemoney, yup, gotta love it, it has a real solid, big hunk of metal feel, just like the 1911. old school and damn cool!!!

Interesting! i searched the interweb alot, could not find any info on that sight at all, a silhouette gun, makes sense, as they would be changing yardage through the shoot. very cool, thanks for the link, Dogger

now if i could only find a set of real grips for it..............

 

[domyalex]

Plenty of choices with Hougue, Nills and even VZ now I think.
