Our Assessment: Performance Center guns originate from standard designs or are created from the ground up. From hand-cutting and fitting to fine tuning for precision, these firearms are top performers. Products from the Performance Center are the ultimate expression of old-world craftsmanship blended with modern technology. The 586 has been made in a variety of configurations since 1980 filling just about any role that could be asked of a .357 Magnum revolver. This example is the Performance Center 586 L-Comp with a 3” ported barrel, round butt grip frame, and a matte black finish. With its 7-round capacity, Performance Center tuned action and ported barrel to reduce recoil, this would be a great carry gun. The gun is in Fine condition with a few scattered light marks, a great bore, and strong mechanics.
