What Was I Supposed to Do? 586-4

[NCBeagle]

They put it right in front of me. Stopped by Carolina Sporting Arms this evening to look around, BS with the guys about guns, etc. This beautiful 586-4 apparently walked in the door just a few hours before me. The original owner purchased it at CSA's original location about 39 years ago. 1993 or so.

Was not looking for a 586, or even an L Frame. I have a pile of revolvers but only one other L Frame. But, there it was. Looking just like the photos below. No box. A couple speed loaders. Nearly perfect condition. Of course, the folks at CSA gave me a great deal. I'll shoot it this weekend.

I have a -3 in 6" and a -4 in 4" that are just as gorgeous as your new acquisition. Bluing, trigger, heft, the works. Trust me, those L frames can handle a pretty darn hot .357 without suffering on the back end. Congratulations and enjoyment are consigned.

Oh nice!! I picked up a 4" 586-4 several years ago despite buying a new 586-8 a few months earlier. The 586-4 is one of the most accurate 357 revolvers I have ever fired! I ended up having the 586-8 sold on gunbroker consignment. The 586-4 is a keeper!

Cannot argue. Sam decision that I made - long ago.

That one would be hard to pass up! Glad you got it.

Your appearance at that place and time was providential. Of course you were supposed to buy it.

Absolutely great gun. Hot loads are positively plush to shoot from our.

Got mine (same configuration) in 1983 - still goin' strong!

Congratulations!
You did the right thing not hesitating

Congrats on the purchase and thanks for posting pics.
I bought a new 6” ND back in the day but my brother has had it shortly after I got it (‘81?)
Around 1990, I stumbled upon this 4” -1 as it now is in pic, grips and all for $150 at OKC gshow. No, wasn’t hot but this was at the time PD’s and individuals were dumping their outdated revolvers for plastic fantastics. It is a good shooter, can ask anyone that’s shot it.

Love mine. 586 no dash. Was given to me a few years back from my brother.

If you like L frames, you done good.

Me, I would have passed on it. I have a nice faux 5" Model 27, built on a .38/44 Outdoorsman frame.

You did what any self respecting forum member should do !! Congratulations!

Why not have both, L frames are great. I have 5-586/686’s and a 696.

No kidding! I have often looked back on gun purchases when the stars were aligned just right. Then there are times that I've missed out on a good deal just by a few minutes. Darn it!

Nicely done.

A few years back - - eek! More than just a few now - a friend says he is selling a revolver for someone and do I want it? $350.00

It was an easy decision:

Nice Ryan, I like it. Bet it will shoot just fine. Sold my nice 4 inch blue to a friend who just had to have it. Now all I have is this scratched up one.
