Smith & Wesson Performance Center 586 L-Comp 357 Mag 3" 7rd Revolver

The Smith & Wesson Performance Center 586 L-Comp is a seven shot, 357 Magnum revolver on the medium L-frame, and it was the first blued seven shot mid size revolver Smith & Wesson offered. The 3" full lug barrel is ported to cut recoil and muzzle rise, which helps a lot with full power 357 loads, and the cylinder also handles 38 Special. The cylinder is cut for moon clips and the clips are included, so reloads go in all at once.

Being a Performance Center gun, the double action/single action trigger is hand tuned for a smooth double action pull and a crisp single action break. Up front is a tritium night sight for low light, paired with an adjustable black blade rear. Frame, cylinder and barrel are carbon steel in a blued finish, and checkered Altamont rosewood grips give it a classic look and a firm hold. At 37.5 oz the weight sits well in the hand and soaks up recoil. It makes sense as a house gun, a carry revolver for someone who wants seven shots, or a fun gun for steel and revolver matches.
