586-2 nickel

[DEF3]

Good evening all. Would anyone know the the numbers/qty on how many of these were produced. Looking at a 4” and was curious. Thanks

I dont know if anyone can give you a production number, but nickel usually is a small percent of most runs. Those guns are gorgeous and I'd grab it.
My 586 ND was stamped to be nickel and they changed their minds!

No kidding, ya I see the z over the n. Waiting on better pics, but overall it looks good so far.

I do not know of published numbers of nickel plated S&W's, but it is generally accepted that roughly 10% of carbon steel S&W handguns came from the factory with a nickel finish.
