My Beloved 4” 586ND going to a new home

[RSBH44]

I've had this beautiful 4" 586 ND for many enjoyable years. I can without hesitation say that it's one of the absolute Smoothest , best shooting guns that I own.
Several years ago my younger brother really took a shine to her. I would always bring it with me when we went to the range together. Well , long story short, he and his wife recently sold their home and moved to Florida. I helped him pack the U-haul myself. Before we said our good by's he mentioned how much he'll miss our range trips and that beautiful 586. So, after much consideration I have decided to gift him the gun once he gets settled in down there. I sort of kind of figured on doing this eventually so a few months ago I bought another 586. This one a 6" -1
586 ND

Thanks Les, I appreciate that. I thought that I had a pic or two of the new 586-1 but I can't find them. I'll have to snap a couple.

What a great thing to do for a brother.

Wish my brothers were more like you. LOL

Very cool. That sort of thing gives a gun a special meaning. I'm sure he will treasure it even more because of it's connection to you. Well done.

First, what a great revolver!

Second, the only thing better then a great revolver, is a great revolver that is given to you by someone you respect and love!

Truly a firearm he will cherish for the rest of his life!

He certainly will treasure it. I bought (2) vintage and mint Ruger Mark II pistols last summer of of GB... I gave my brother one as he was almost speechless. No where near as cool as a 586 but kinda the same gesture. It's nice to be the "Big Brother" isn't it? And even nicer to be the "Lil-Bro"!

That is a nice gesture only a brother would do. Question what does ND stand for.

ND = No Dash

I have a 586-1 that's a real pleasure to shoot. I know you'll be happy later that your 586 is still in the family with someone you know enjoys it.
Great way to pass your revolver on.

Im sure your brother will appreciate it very much

I had a similar situation about 15 years ago. When I made my Move from Long Island to Florida, my Son helped me Pack up my rather large Gun Collection. Previous to my Move, he would also accompany me to the Range. He already had his NY Pistol License, so before I left he got my Remington 700 308, Remington 870 12ga, Marlin 39 22, my 629-2
and my Mint S&W 18. So he was left with a well rounded Collection.

Love it. Great gun, great gesture. Will be a great memory for both of you.

You're a good big brother. I'm sure he's a good younger brother too.

I'm up for adoption....

I'm up for adoption....

I wondered when you'd get around to posting that!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. My brother and I didn't get to spend as much time together as we'd have like to in our latter years and now he's gone and moved even farther away, so I know he'll really get a kick out of and enjoy receiving this. As for my loss, it really isn't. I know he'll cherish and take good care of her and as I previously said, I've already purchased another one.

Here is my newest 586-1 to replace the one that I'm giving to my brother

My brothers wouldn't cross the street to spit on me if I was on fire.

This is awesome, and some beautiful 586's.

I too have a 586 with more soul and purpose than many people on tv.

Sorry to hear that.

Nice gesture. I wish my brother was still around....we use to exchange "noir novels" advice.....he put me on the reading of Mankell....I put him on Chandler.
