Gentlemen, show me your 586's with custom wood grips....

.45mtngun · May 9, 2012

I have a very nice 586 4" with some funky rubber grips (from Italy no less )which have been altered and I want to put some nice quality wood grips on this piece. The rest of the gun is in VERY nice shape so would like to improve upon it. Something along the Roper style or similar is the direction i'm looking for, but a good variety would also be helpful. I know you guys have some fine 586's so i'd like to see them for ideas. Thanks for your time!!

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,

Ok, here is a M586, with cocobolo wood from Kurac. They are "coke" style stocks that fit my hand very well.

Here's another 586 wearing Kurac's grips. They feel as good as they look.

My 586-4 came with hideous rubber Hogue grips. I installed a set of S&W Combat stocks which originally came on my 617 no dash. Gun shoots as good as it looks.

Thanks for the great pictures of all your fine 586's! Mine is a 586 No Dash born in April 1982. Keep sending all the great pictures of your fine guns. Greatly appreciated!!

i was just thinking today about a set of custom grips for my 586, no dash, that i recently inherited from dad. as of right now it is the box with maybe 25 rounds through it. for the grips, i was thinking of curly(tiger) maple. there is a long story behind why curly maple. i am also thinking about doing a curly maple stock on my(another one of dad's guns) remington xp 100. dad is no longer with us, but i think he would be on board with these changes. does any one know of anybody who would make a set of grips and a stock for these personal treasures?

also, how would i go about finding the "birthday" of my 586?

thanks...

Palmetto Sharpshooter,
Are those Hogues on the engraved gun? They look nice and slim and I like the checkering. Thanks,
Jim

These are the original stocks that came on my 586 project magnum. It was a 6" no dash with a bubba trigger job and a lot of finish wear. Every sharp edge on the stocks had been rounded over and the speedloader cut out had been buggered up. I fixed the terrible push off with a new trigger and then I sent the gun off to the factory for the recall work. I had them do some custom work while it was there, putting on a 4" tube and bead blasting with fresh blue. While it was away I took the round over job on the stocks to the extreme. I was going for a J frame target look. I also re-cut the lines on the speedloader cut out and gave them a tung oil finish.

Yes sir. They're Hogues. Zia at Hogue is making a knockout set for that revolver right now. I should have them in the fall.

Smith357,
I have saved that picture of the reshaped grips as I think they are PERFECTLY redone and shaped! All the contours very well done and pleasing to the eye. I'll bet she feels great in the hand also!!

Palmetto Sharpshooter,
Thanks for the information. Send me a picture to my private message option or post a picture of the ones Zia is building for you. That would be appreciated!!
Thanks all,
Jim

Yes the grips fill the hand and spread the recoil for the stoutest magnum loads,and the rounded butt does not print like stock Targets.

I've seen this picture before and wondered about those grips. I had no idea you reworked them. Wonderful job!
