I had a 4586 on layaway with Bud's. When I saw they had dropped the price on the gun $90, I inquired as to whether I could get the new price. I got the same answer as another poster, pay off the layaway today and the $259 price is yours. I did just that, and now my gun is shipping. I have been a customer and fan of Bud's for some time, and this just made the experience even better. Only problem now is that I'm trying to find the money to get myself a 4553TSW before they run out. Hard to beat at $259 shipped.

So what if there's some holster wear? Ever hear of Scotchbrite? Mechanics is what matters, no? Many police guns are "carried alot shot little", so why not get one?

Even if they are carried a lot and shot a lot, good luck wearing out an all steel 3rd generation .45 ACP. At most they might need a new set of magazine springs and a new recoil spring. The 45xx guns are tough as nails. $259 for a 4586 is a fantastic deal. I think the pre-TSW DAO trigger on the S&W 3rd Gens is the best DAO trigger of any pistol I have tried. Its short, reasonably light, and very easy to use. I'm mostly a revolver guy anyway, and for me the 4586 is a magazine fed, high capacity revolver.
