New to Me 586 Nickel

Narragansett · Jul 11, 2020

Never having been a nickel fan, there was something about this distinguished combat magnum that I really liked. 586-2, so it has the recall ND &-1 hammer nose and bushing modifications.1987, NIB, tools and docs, and tie wrapped to prevent a turn line. Grips have nice figure too, or at least I think so. I just gave it a quick wipe down. I have not had time yet to give it the Rubi treatment

Jim, you are right. Nickel is new to me. Owned a series 70 Govt 45 om the early 70's. it was defective right from the factory. They took it back, and i never bought another. i am a blued steel and wood guy.

Thanks

It is a beautiful revolver, I did not know that the 586 model was also made in nikel, thanks for showing it.

I have a 6" nickel 586-1 that is one of the best shooting S&W's that I have ever owned! It came with Pachmayr rubbers, I bought the football targets from a member here, they are a little early for my 586 but look great on it!

According to Roy Jinks, no more than 10% of them would be finished in nickel

In my country (Argentina) I never saw one.

That's really nice looking, Pete. Like you, I am not a fan of nickel finished guns, but every now and then one of them really grabs my attention. But so far, the only one I have is a .32 HE from 1906.

I used to feel the same way. Now I own 5 nickel gems.

Nickel plated Model 586's are rarely seen.

Darn Pete, that's real nice...I passed one up some time back...still mad at me!......your 28's will adjust to the new kid!

A 6” nickel 586-anything and an 8 3/8” nickel 27-2 are at the top of my wish list of S&Ws to get someday. But very hard to impossible to find in California where out of state guns can’t come here. My ex wife’s husband has a 6” 686 that has been polished bright and shiny and looks like nickel. That’s close enough for me but I don’t think he’d trade it.

I had one of those several years ago and sold it to the owner of my LGS. If I remember correctly, a member here posted about seeing it in a LGS in NY and I called and bought it.

I really like nickel Smiths and that one was a real looker.

Well, as I stated earlier Roy Jinks said no more that 10 % would be nickel. I have no idea if they made that quota or not. Someone else said to me that if and when you do find them, 6" is a lot less common than 4". Nothing i can prove, but it was said to me. No idea how that would translate to value

entirely nice! I saw a 4'' nickel years ago at a small shop in SC, didn't jump when I should have. Oh well. Good luck with it!

SFIDEC · Jul 12, 2020

Ahhh...Bling
That's a real beauty.
Congrats!

I sold my 1982 nickel 8 3/8" "transitional" M27-2.
Recessed but not pinned.
I sold it because the barrel was too long. J/K

For now I'm holding on to my "S" prefix 1968 6" nickel M27-2.

Sorry you can't buy one from out of state.

M57 and M586, both no dash. Lately at gun shows, I'm drawn to the 'Nicks'.
