bought a brand new 586 in 1985. couldn't go more than 1 or 2 shots before the gun would seize up. total pos. sold it at a loss and bought a w german p226.
If you like it, buy it. its a great gun that will last you a life time. also much cheaper than a new production model 10 with mim parts and ****ty quality control.
I have an original single stack 4053 and need a holster. Does anyone know what other s&w auto's use the same frame because no one lists a holster for that model.
It depends what you want. If you want a strong reliable revolver get the Ruger. If you want an over priced piece of junk with MIM parts and internal lock get the Smith.
