Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Smith & Wesson’s Model 586 is one of the defining revolvers of the company’s L-frame era, introduced to give shooters the strength and durability demanded by sustained .357 Magnum use while retaining a more manageable profile than the larger N-frame. The 586 combined a full-underlug barrel, six-shot cylinder, adjustable sights and Smith & Wesson’s traditional carbon-steel construction with a polished blue finish. The 586-3 engineering change arrived in 1988 and incorporated a revised yoke-retention system, placing these revolvers firmly within the classic pre-lock, forged-part era that many Smith & Wesson collectors actively pursue today. This particular 586-3 belongs to an especially scarce limited production run of just 1,000 revolvers, identified under product code 103593 and produced in 1989. These examples were configured with the long 8 3/8-inch barrel and factory broaching for dedicated scope-ring mounting, with period Millett rings supplied with the revolver. Collector references consistently identify only 1,000 examples in this special configuration, making it substantially scarcer than standard-production 586-3 revolvers. Contemporary collector discussion has also long associated this run with Lew Horton distribution, although period documentation is the strongest way to establish the distributor provenance of any individual example. What makes the 586-3 Lew Horton Exclusive especially desirable is the combination of its limited production, unusual factory optics-ready configuration and classic long-barreled L-frame proportions. The 8 3/8-inch barrel gives the revolver a distinctly purposeful silhouette, while the factory scope-ring cuts distinguish it immediately from ordinary cataloged 586s. Complete examples retaining their original Millett rings, box and accompanying material are particularly difficult to assemble today, since the correct period rings have themselves become scarce. For the advanced Smith & Wesson collector, this is the kind of limited-run variation that goes well beyond simply owning another 586—it represents one of the more unusual factory-configured L-frame .357 Magnums from the late 1980s.
