just made a trip to the lgs to pick up a new buffer tube for an AR project and saw a beautiful 4586 ANIB with the paperwork and 3 mags as well as fresh night sights. i couldn't resist and walked out with it for $400 otd!

Wow, very good deal. Congratulations and enjoy the new gun.

Good deal! I wish I was that lucky.

Don't look, reload and shoot!

i can't wait to shoot it. it came with a coupon for 1 hour of free indoor range time at the shops downstairs range.

That's a pretty good deal. I bought an as new in the box 4586TSW and it cost me north of $800.

What a great gun. You will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

i also have the 4586TSW [with the rail] and i got it under 500 IIRC. great pistol and one of the reasons i couldn't pass this one up!

I need one bad.

the gun shot like a dream, smooth and accurate, primo piece!

Just out of curiosity, does it fire without the magazine inserted?

I picked up one -- almost exactly like that in the same condition -- that fires without the magazine inserted...

Never seen one like that before -- and am curious whether anyone else has seen one....

(It has laser engraving on the right side to that effect -- and has the same wording as FBI 1076s...)

Mine appears to be unfired -- and I haven't shot it yet myself...And it cost just shy of what 4506517's did...)

I prefer TDA myself, but That deal would have been too hard to pass up. Good score!

it never occurred to me to try it that way. I'll get it back out and try!

If it doesn't say "Caution: Capable of firing with magazine removed" on the right hand side, it almost certainly has the magazine disconnector and disengages when you drop the mag...

(But, as always, for newbies and everybody else, we all have to PRESUME the gun will fire -- and may have a round in the chamber that may discharge -- until we check...It's also always possible somebody removed the magazine disconnector -- and DIDN'T have it written on the side)

Here's a picture of the tattoo on the slide

Wow! That's the first time I've ever seen the "decocking lever" lasering.

The writing is similar and in the same spot. But mine says, "Caution: Capable of firing with magazine removed."

Great price. I own the 1086 same gun but in 10mm. I love shooting it. I love the short double action trigger. I would love to find a 4586 to go with my 1086. Enjoy it.

I had a 4586 that was the smoothest 3rd gen pistol I ever handled. The slide felt like it was on ball bearings. I foolishly sold it like I have many others when I became interested in 1911s. Enjoy yours it looks like a nice one.

so far it's been great. gotta love those .45's
