Here is mine along with its understudy in .22 caliber with some smooth rosewood stocks from a Thai ebay seller. I used some Birchwood Casey Brass Black on the screws and escutcheons after the photo was taken.

My 586 no dash with Ahrends grips

kschmider · Jan 25, 2017

Although not a 586, I have a 686-6 Plus that I have Nill Rosewood grips on. These grips have a large/wide palm swell which helps me with accuracy. These grips cover the back strap and lengthen out the distance to the trigger. I would only recommend them for people with medium to large hands if you are accustomed to shooting DA.

Also, they are not cheap!

Could you post a link to where you got them? I can't find them on Hogue’s site.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't believe that Ebony wood is available any longer. It's a shame too, they make a fine looking set of grips.

gwpercle · Jan 27, 2017

Ahrends Retro combat or Retro Target in the exotic wood (not laminated plywood ) of your choice. Ebony is no longer available for S&W grips ( can get 1911's) many other woods to choose from.
Order a set and have him make just what you want , nothing like a custom made set of grips.
I don't have a 586 but the model 58 in my avatar has Ahrends Retro Combats in dark red cocobolo. I specified that color and he nailed it ! The man knows how to shape them so they fit your hand .....they are SWEET!

Wow! Great 586s!

I have a problem...my hands wear Large-XL gloves, but standard S & W K and L frame grips are too large for my hands. I got a beautiful pair of Cocobolo (supposedly Herrett's) from eBay, and I had to sand them down to be comfortable in my hands.

Hogue black rubber grips are very comfortable, fit great, and I shoot better with them, but...they are...ug...Uhmm...utilitarian-looking!

I'd like to try some wood Hogues, and I guess I could always reduce them in size, should they be too large. Or, Maybe Altamont grips.

This is a 586 thread. Nice gun though.

Smooth Grips vs Checkered

Back in the early 80's, when I was a young officer, we still
carried revolvers. My weapon of choice was a S&W Model 19, with a 4" barrel.

I had replaced the checkered factory grips with a set of smooth S&W grips in what was advertised as "Goncalo Alves". They were beautiful, and looked very nice in the "Bianchi Judge" holster I wore at the time.

One early morning, my Sergeant and I responded to a burglary in progress. I had the model 19 in my hand as we made entry to the building, and we could hear the two burglars talking to each other as we entered.

My hands were sweating so profusely that I couldn't hold on to the gun. We wound up arresting the two burglars, and after my shift that night I went to the local gun store and purchased a set of Pachmayr rubber grips and never looked back.

While smooth grips may look better, in an OMG situation, I'll take something with checkering every time!

Hey, no fair! Those aren't 586's. (But they they sure are sporting some fine looking grips).

Jupiter01 · Jan 28, 2017

WOW! HANDSOME!

Here are a couple of round butt 586's. I really like the round to square butt Ahrend's red stained maple grips on the 6" barrel gun so much I think I will get another set for the 4" gun.

Jim,
Is your 586 a no dash square butt?
Also you probably know the L frames use the same grips as the K frames.

IMO Herrets makes a very nice smooth presenatation grip with medallions for the money,
They make them for both K/L frames and N frame models ,
I have bought several pair like these on Models 629 MG, 686 MG, 19 Nickel,
They are excellent and wont break the bank either at $38 NIB from CDNN.

The two below are pre 24 and pre 27 N frames,

I love your grips and immediately went to the CDNN website. All they have for Smith revolvers is one set of repro walnut target stocks. Am I missing something? Thanks for the great pictures

My 586 is a RB...she's wearing Ahrends grips in Bubinga wood...
