I was never a real fan of the DAO 3rd Gens. I must confess, frankly, that I considered them "sort of" 3rd Gens.
However, last fall I stopped in at my LGS and happen to see a lovely 4586 on consignment for what I considered a good price. I decided to take a look. I was allowed to field strip it to better examine it. It was truly like new. It was one of those 3rd Gens I've purchased on consignment over the years that begs the question, "Where the heck is the box?" Anyway, they knocked a little off the price and bought it. I was really impressed by the double action pull and feel.
I now proclaim that I am a fan of the DAO 3rd Gens. My new 4586 is not only a true 3rd Gen, but a really nice pistol, period.
I humbly stand before you a true convert.
