OK, I finally sent my 586 in for the L frame modification. Figured I'd share my experience in case others have been putting it off.
I emailed S&W for directions on how to get the recall work taken care of and they promptly responded with directions including an account number to use for shipping. On March 1, 2005 I shipped the gun off via Fedex, which didn't cost me a penny. Yesterday, March 11th 10 days later, I receive the gun back via Fedex with a new hammer nose and bushing. Wow, I was pretty impressed. 10 day turn around on a 20+ year old gun with no out of pocket cost to me.
