The Model 586 with 8.375-inch barrel was a limited configuration in the L-frame line. The extended barrel maximized velocity and sight radius to the extreme end of what is practical in a service revolver. Rarely encountered compared to the 4-inch and 6-inch variants and sought by collectors who want a complete 586 configuration set.
