First time poster here. I'm not a huge revolver guy, though I've owned a few. I've wanted a 4 inch Smith 357. Either a K or L frame. I wasn't really shopping but came across a 586 4 inch at the local Gander Mountain. It was priced at $349 and came out to $376 w/tax. It appear in excellent condition with a few minor blemishes. I've looked on gunbroker and it seems a decent price. Once I get it cleaned up I'll post pics.

That is a great price. I would snap up a 586 at that price if it were decent. They have a generally very high quality on average with nice b/c fit and good triggers. I have two 686's and really want to add a blue one (or replace my 4" with a 4" 586). The problem is you really have a tough time selling these once you get them, they are superb revolvers.

Welcome to the forum... I paid $425 for my 586 no dash a year and half ago and thought I got a good deal. I would say you did good!

Sir, FWIW, the last couple 586s I've seen for sale around here have been in the $525 to $550 range. Good on ya.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

The 586 is a great and often under appreciated revolver. You done good!

One of my favorite Smith's. Anything under 4 bones for a nice one is a deal these days.

Good price AND you got that price from Gander.. You must be living a good life. Gander prices are usually high.

I just picked up a nice one with a tad of holster wear for $375 shipped plus $25 transfer fee for my FFL so $400 total. I figured I got a pretty good deal. Small town gun shop in Missouri.

That's a good price for a used 586, especially if you bought it from Gander Mountain.

I saw one at the GM in Mooresville, NC, for just under $550. It had a lot of end shake, and since they wouldn't take my offer, I decided to pass on it. Other than the end shake, the gun was in very good condition.

1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
