Hey, anyone in Canada got their hands on this pistol?

I sure love the looks of it, and would fit the bill for a non-ipsc recreational bullseye gun. Wonder if this model is available in Canada as i have never stumbled on it in the EE or the dealers.
 
Exactly this Graydog, but yours seem like the real deal vintage one (or is it?)
In such a great shape, it'S hard to say, beautiful wheel gun btw
The one in link is 2012 new production, they seem to have remade the 586 in it's original configuration, but brand new!

jcbruno; you are talking of the 2012 remake right?
Which dealer told you he could get his hand on this?
 
Just checked, they only have the 686 in stainless
I have been eyeballing for a while now and always said to myself if i'd find it i'd buy it
But my other hard to find firearm has been bought so this is next on my list
 
Graydog : Thanks for sharing these are beautiful revolvers you got there. The pic is not of highest resolution, but from what i can see the recent manu has kept the identical look of the classic 586.
To be honest, i really like the top one lenght wise (6''?), and really prefer the grips of lower one.

I never noticed how these share common traits with pythons look wise, are these the closest look alike available?

sobo4303 : Thanks for the info, will write them up this evening
 
Update: ended up going with 686-3 on the EE
6", SS, has big wooden grips like the 586.
With these grips it does ressemble the 586 quite a bit

I was used to see 686s with hogue or black grips and did not like it
