Just wondered if anyone had both revolvers and could tell me how they fared accuracy wise against each other? I know when the "L" magnums began to appear, S&W was determined to have them compete with the Colt Python. They won over gun writers overnight, but do they still have the same degree of accuracy today?
Also, does anyone here have a S&W 586 or 581? I had one of the latter when they first came out and was always sorry I sold it.
On a separate note, has anyone bought one of these new Hogue cylinder releases for K- and L-frame revolvers? They look nice, but at $65-$75, they're too high-priced for me. (The prices of third-party add-ons these days are ridiculous. Even Tyler T-Grip Adaptors are $39 +shipping!) I can see buying a nice set of wood grips for that $60-$75, but some polished wood grips are going for $350 on eBay! It makes me want to ask them if the gun comes with them!
I think if I were going to buy one of these, I wouldn't want the Hogue name stamped in it.
It's a great idea and I'd get one if it were half the price. Seems like everyone overvalues their stuff.
