Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1980 as part of Smith & Wesson’s revolutionary "L-Frame" line, the Distinguished Combat Magnum Model 586 was engineered to provide a full-sized, medium-heavy frame capable of withstanding a continuous diet of full-power .357 Magnum ammunition. While standard catalog 586s featured 4-inch or 6-inch barrels with fixed or standard micrometer rear sights, Smith & Wesson produced a highly specialized, low-production variant for competitive long-range handgunners: the Model 586 Silhouette. Built specifically to dominate International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association (IHMSA) matches, this target-focused revolver combined traditional L-frame durability with match-grade accuracy features. What distinguishes the Model 586 Silhouette on the secondary market is its unique, factory-installed target sight system and long barrel configuration. Outfitted with an 8 ?-inch heavy barrel, this model features a four-position adjustable front sight blade—allowing shooters to set preset elevation drops for standard silhouette competition distances (50, 100, 150, and 200 meters)—paired with a micro-adjustable target rear sight. Combined with a smooth double-action and crisp single-action trigger break, wide target hammer, and wide target trigger, the Silhouette variant represents one of the most mechanically precise target revolvers ever turned out by Springfield's master craftsmen. Finding a "No-Dash" (original engineering change / 1980s manufacture) Model 586 Silhouette in high-grade condition is an exceptional prize for advanced Smith & Wesson collectors. Because the 8 ?-inch Silhouette models were produced in strictly limited quantities compared to standard duty lengths—and given that many were driven hard in competitive match circuits—unaltered, pristine examples are remarkably scarce today. Preserved with its deep factory carbon bluing, sharp markings, and original target stocks, this early "No-Dash" Silhouette stands as an anchor-quality centerpiece for any serious collector of classic S&W L-frames or 1980s target handguns.
