The 3 Amigos, L-Frame 6" collection completed

[bikemutt]

Finally got my L-frame 6" collection completed, all no-dash models M-stamped by Smith & Wesson. The leftmost gun, a nickel 586, was the most recently added and already had been M-stamped, the middle blued 586 just returned from the factory and the 686 stainless gun came home last week from a very long trip to the factory for it's M-stamp.

Anyway, I'm delighted to have the children all home finally, it's the sort of family reunion I actually look forward to

I have yet to shoot the nickel gun, it's on this weekend's agenda.

Now onto the 4" models, I sure hope that's all the barrel lengths they came in as both the 586 and 686 or I'm in bigger trouble than I thought

Very nice! Excuse my ignorance but, "M stamped"?

The no-dash and -1 guns were recalled because of a potential firing pin bushing defect that could cause the cylinder to lockup. Once Smith applies the recall they stamp the crane with an "M". Sorry, I should have stated that.

No, I appreciate learning new things! Show us the 4"ers when they come along.
