They are out. I told a co-worker about them and they were gone before noon Pacific time.
I can believe that. I had called Barry last week and asked him to put one, the 4586, back for me to pick up today. He did me right! Mine has a little holster wear and the night sights are a little dim, but still very usable. I would rate the finish at 90%+.
While I was waiting on him to finish the paperwork, I field stripped it and it looks like it was never fired. Must have been the chief's.
I fired both mags with 185g R-P JHP just to make sure it functioned. Not a hiccup. I've read elsewhere that the 4586 will cycle empty brass from the mag. It will, six cases as fast as I could rack the slide.
I've bought several weapons at Bud's and have never had less that exceptional service and their prices are hard to beat.

The E-Mail was sent at 8:01 tonight that mine had shipped, and will arrive on 7/21.

Cool. I reserved mine Saturday and sent a money order today. They say they need the $$ within 7 days. I sure hope it makes it. The post office said it should be there by Thursday.
Mine is on the big brown bird as well, scheduled to hit the upper left coast on Wednesday.
I'm pretty happy that they shipped it UPS 2-day, I was scheduled to leave on vacation this Friday, and the poor thing might have had to sit in the safe at the FFL for 2 weeks.

Put my name on one of the 4586TSWs on the Police Supply side, I must have gotten one of the last ones because I checked it a while ago and it was sold out.

Picked mine up from my FFL last night.
Looks good, somewhere b/w 85-90%, night sights are really dim, though.
Grip is slim, but long front to back, thanks to the .45 ACP.
I think I may try to get some Hogues to see if that'll change the grip to fit my hands better.
This is my first S&W 3rd Gen (or any gen) SA, and the DAO wasn't what I was expecting.
The pull isn't bad, not too heavy, a little bit of travel.
But I wasn't expecting to have to cock it every time to test the trigger. I was thinking the DAO was going to be like dry firing a DA/SA gun, just pull the trigger.
Seems to me this is almost a SAO, in that you have to rack the slide before being able to dry-fire.
Also wasn't aware that it had a mag disconnect, but I guess I can live with that if I have to.
Is there a way to disable this?
I haven't shot it yet, I hope to maybe this week.
Overall, I'm very pleased. Not bad, it's a lot of gun for the little $$$.

They have 4586's again. Maybe they released another batch.

Yes, the early Smith DAO feel like they almost single action.
The pistol is actually half cocked by the slide, the trigger has very little to do.You can remove the mag safety by first removing the rear sight. Good luck with that.
FYI, found out from the folks at Bud's that most of these came from police/SO's in the Newport News, VA area...
I was at Bud's again this morning and asked about the out of stock/in stock listing. Apparently their inventory control is weird. As an example, if they have 100 weapons on the shelf and sell 50, the 50 get sent to shipping, but the system counts the 50 twice until they are actually shipped. They have 50 weapons on the shelf and have 50 sold, so the computer thinks there are none left. After the 50 have shipped, there are still 50 on the shelf, so now there are 50 available. Please don't ask me why, it was all I could do to understand when it was explained to me.
They were getting down to 15-20 of the 4586's left at 10 a.m.

When I was an LEO in the Tidewater area NNPD issued the 4586. Hampton also had a 3rd gen .45, but I think theirs were 4566, or perhaps some other DA/SA .45. I don't know what the Newport News and Hampton SOs issued. I was on the south side of the bridge where the 9mm ruled. IIRC only Chesapeake PD issued anything other than 9mm. My agency had the 5946 and 6946 at the time.
My 4586 is at the dealer. I'll be picking it up tomorrow.

Picked mine up this evening. The cosmetics are similar to the example pictured on Bud's website with a little less holster wear at the muzzle. Mine has Hogue grips; I'd have preferred the factory ones though. The night sights are a little dim but working. Frankly, I wasn't expecting them to glow at all. Field stripping it revealed nice internals that only show a slight amount of wear. For a police gun, it was surprisingly clean inside and out.
All in all a great value for the money. I'm very pleased.

Clean inside. Shoots good. Trigger pull good.
Some rust and pitting on both sides of the slide...will take more than Mothers to polish out. Not bad for $259.

Nice photos, thank you. Those slide markings seem like those I've seen on recent, not-supposed-to-be-made-anymore-models, did your box match the pistol and if so, what was the Julian date?
Also, are some of those markings laser-etched? I was going to say hit it hard with green Scotchbrite pads and buy a set of Smith & Wesson Factory Grips Straight S&W 4563TSW, 4566TSW, 4583TSW, 4586TSW, 1006, 1066, 1086, 4505, 4506, 4546, 4566, 4567, 4586, 4596 - MidwayUSA and it's be good as new but I think you might take at least that S&W emblem off if you go over it with Scrotchbrite.
Congrats on your new pistols guys.
