My 586-5 with VZ rb conversion stocks.

Great guns. I have a 4” and a 6”

No S&W are getting any cheaper, I have 7 586's and 686+ pre-locks in different barrel lengths. Pre-locks are gold. The guns with the locks will follow after the new two peace barrel shroud. But it, shoot and enjoy it.

My 586-7 seven shooter with lock removed and the 'Plug' in. I walked into my local gun shop, saw this and laid my coins down. Did not need another one, but there you have it.

Only 27 hours until the state says I will be safe with (another) revolver.

OK, I was browsing a LGS recently and saw something that I don’t ever recall seeing before, a 6” 586. The next thing that I know, it followed me home!

There was a bit of rust on the outside of the barrel near the muzzle that cleaned up somewhat and is hard to see after I applied some touch-up blueing. I didn’t even have to clean it up since it’s previous owner did a really nice job of cleaning as a few patches verified. It is a no-dash gun with no M stamp, and target grips.

The only problem I have is that it shoots to the left with the rear sight all the way to the right.

I would add a couple of pictures if I could figure out how to do it.

Yay and Congratulations! Tomorrow morning's mission will be to pick up my 586. I am looking forward to modestly working on it's finish, with a detailed clean and lube. Possible range time on Wednesday, but more likely Sunday.

Good luck with your sights, hoping for an easy solution!

Congratulations nice looking revolver

Enjoy in good health - my own 586 no dash is a constant range companion.

Resistance is futile.

It came home

Lets see, a used 35 year old or a new Tesla? No contest! Waiting for post turkey range date.

You’ll love it! And soon forget the price. I’ve always had a sentimental attachment to Model 19s, but I think the 4-inch is a bit mean to shoot with full-charge .357s. The 586 is much more user-friendly. If I could only have one and had to choose between the two, regret to say it, but it would be the 586 for shooting the magnums. If all you’ll shoot is .38s, then they’re both nice. Congrats on your new revolver.

I bought a new 4" 586 very soon after S&W introduced them. Carried it on duty with the infamous 125 grain JHP .357 ammo, and shot it off duty with my own Magnum reloads. Never a problem, and I did not have the "M" mod done. One of the nicest revolvers I ever owned. Sold it to a friend when I acquired a new 686.

My pal shot only his reloads, and reported the cylinder was tying up. He did send it in for the M modification. I know he used cast bullets, but other than that, I don't know what his reload menu consisted of.

Enjoy your new 586. Fine revolvers, IMHO.

A 4" 586 no- was my last purchase of 2022. PUSH!

 

[TeamPB]

I finally get to clean it again!

Well, we all hope to be pleased by the things we purchase and this thing pleases very, very much. Accompanied by a 28-2 and a 19-5 for comparison it exceeded all expectations. Smoother in every way compared to my beloved 28 and the 19. .38 cal from Federal in 158 and PPU in 130, .357 from Creedmore and New Republic in 158. Hundreds of flawless, accurate rounds down range. This isn't a review, just an acknowledgement that the 586 is an awesome revolver and I am very happy to have acquired (my first) one.

After a very good range session we walked through their shop. In the revolver case was a consignment 4inch 586 with target stocks, I would rate it at 92-95% condition. Serial # AZB9515. Is it a 586-3? Is it from 1988ish? It was $750.00 and I have it on hold. It would not be a financial hardship, but I didn't buy it because I really wasn't planning on another piece in 2023 and I didn't need to impulse it. I know which way I'm leaning, can any of you give me a push? Please

Great purchase! 750$ for a 586 is an absolute steal and I am happy it is going to someone who will shoot it well.
