Slow as Christmas but does excellent work..
He built up a Wilson Quality 1911 out of my humble Springfield frame and slide..
What's not to love.. Mine is a virgin and staying that way unless a problem should arise.. Keep us posted.
Godawgs90, yes, S&W is still honoring their recall. Call them, ask for a shipping label and send it in. The M586 was introduced in 1981 using the new three letter prefix of AAA-0001. The M586 was produced until 1986 when the M586-1 began production.
S&W does a good job of re-bluing, but the bluing process has changed since 1981. The bluing process produces a blue that is slightly darker than the 1981 version. Some like the newer bluing better, some not so much, but if you are thinking of re-bluing, ask them about this. S&W has improved their horrible customer service in the last few years. Recently, I have heard that they are really good at helping out S&W owners. Here is their number, tell them what you have, don't mention who owned it first or if you are not the original owner, it does not matter. This is a recall on the gun, regardless of who owns it. Here is their number

ISO referrals for "local" gunsmith that is good with revolvers- just basic stuff, nothing specialized. Thanks in advance
Thanks, bearpugh.
I believe 75% of a good reblue is the prep work, so you can guess why 'cheap' jobs are cheap. I'd wager S&W give pretty good value for money if they'll do it, they wouldn't return some buffed out blotchy hunk.
