Yes, you heard right! Was at the dealer today and he had in his possession a S&W model 586 (the Distinguished Combat Magnum)in 38 Special, or so he thinks. Took a friend to the dealer to buy a .357 Magnum, I'd seen these 586's there knowing very well that they are a .357/38 revolver. Well, we took a real good look at the guns and they say .38 Special on the side of the barrel and then inside the crane, it says 586. The dealer insist that they are 38 Special only. After leaving, realized that we could have settled the argument by just inserting a .357 Magnum case into the cylinder. But again, still would not have known for sure, because I have seen new revolvers say 44 Special and they be able to fit a 44 Magnum round (these were the first shipments of Air Lights in 44 Special).
So, question for the S&W guru's. Is there a S&W 586 in 38 Special? Limited run or mislabeled barrel?
