Because in europe - when it comes to revolvers (Rossi and Taurus sucks...) - a lot of people trust the american ones. And with a special edition, S&W can squeeze more money out of the buyers.
Hello everyone I bought one of these when they first were available in Australia. They are a very nice 686 that were born in the SW Performance Centre and hence are slightly more accurate and maybe desirable than a normal 686. It will outshoot me any day of the week!
The cheapest price I can see for a new International Dx here in Australia is Au$1685. The standard 686 new retails for Au$1265. Check out rpg firearms sales in Aus for pics. You can do the currency conversion to get Us$ comparisons. Regards.
The Smith & Wesson 686 International DX was sold in many countries. I know for a fact they are sold here in Australia where I live, personally seen one myself at a dealer. The information regarding them only being sold in Europe is incorrect. Nice revolvers in any case!
Also, what is the dash series? This will tell you how old the gun is. If you open your cylinder, engraved in the frame it should say 686-something. My 686 is a 686-5, which means it is the sixth revision of the gun (there was no 686-0) This can give you a rough estimate of the age of the gun. If you post your dash number I can find you an estimate of its age.
verry nice , you got I want..

Nice S&Ws you got there!
Here in Switzerland is only one gun shop at the moment that sells one... without a price, they just tell you to contact them :-D
I guess these will become collectables.

Why would they sell a different model only for overseas?
