Okay, to cut a long story short, I bought a 6" 586 in great condition from a dealer. I should be getting it from the dealer in a week or two. (Australian gun laws - don't get me started).



Today a guy from my club offered me his 6" 586, as he's moving interstate, also in great condition, and offered to let me name a fair price.




My heart says that I should jump on two the two Smiths. My head says I really don't need two identical revolvers.




Suggestions?

if your laws limit you to x number of toys, or toys/month/day/year, i would pass.

however, it doesnt hurt to have 2 of them if you can afford the extra weight.  you could always have one for each hand .

also, you could always swap one for a 4" version if you choose to.

Nope.

 



I'm thinking if I can get a decent price I'll grab it.

I have a 4 inch Colt Border Patrol Mk III and a 4 inch Colt Trooper Mk III. They are essentially the same revolver and I am glad I have both!

If it breaks or you need to sell one, friend once told me "one is none, two is one". Buy it.

If it is a good price get it, You can sell it later and make a buck or two if you change your mind.

Get the 4" version unless the 6" is a true bargain...Say for SHTF a 4" might be easier to conceal.
