My new to me 586 no dash

[gumpys]

gumpys It is 100% not nickel.. If you read my first post I stated that I took the grips off an filed down deeply to find no carbon steel... Just second guessing myself.. It is solid 100% stainless.. I know the difference.. You are definitely wrong and obviously can't physically tell the difference between nickle and stainless.. S&W confirmed this too by the serial number.. I was hoping for some constructive advice from this forum instead of gun shop no it alls.. I have learned in life that whenever you think you know everything about something, then you have failed and should start over.. This is a never ending learning curve.. I have over 60 S&W revolvers in my collections.. These obvious answers were answered the day I purchased the gun.. Besides any false definitives I would appreciate someone with actual insight to the Stainless 586.. Please something constructive? If not I will wait for my $75 research from the Smith historian to be delivered to me.. If you do not have any constructive response, please do not reply..

Well from your pics it looks nickel all day long, maybe learn how to take some pics, and you know what you need to go somewhere else, this forum is not for you. If you already know everything why you asking for info then. Also, glad to see you just joined and feel the need to bad mouth everyone on here, someone should show you the door.

This will give you an idea of what yours would look like with the S&W combat grips from gungripsupply.com. They fit my 586 (no dash) perfectly and are very comfortable.

It would be very interesting to see what you learn from S&W on your unusual gun, perhaps you could post it. Seems like a very unusual handgun to me and I for one would like to know more.

weyerbacher, growr and a few others thank you.. You guys were very constructive and not pointing out the obvious.. That's what I needed and asked for.. I would not be on here if I knew everything, like some think they do.. weyerbacher, thank on the advise on starting my own thread.. I know S&W but these threads are knew to me.. I'll show more pictures if you would like.. My great grandfathers 1st and 2nd model are astounding considering they are 100yrs old and fire perfectly.. S&W has not changed much since.. Hard to reinvent the wheel..

Just got a 586 nickel, it is outstanding. gun store guy asked me was I gonna fire it. it looks like new. of courde I am.

I'm actually tempted to safe this beauty for a bit. A LGS just got in a 686-3 4 inch at a price I can live with. I might buy it so I don't beat up the 586 too much.

Hearsedriver, thanks for the pics. I think I'll check out that grip.

Hearsedriver, nice choice. That stock looks great.

Same here. 586 no dash, never returned for repair and never had a misfire. Gratzz. You'll love it

Hi Guys,
Same here!
I bought mine in December 06, 1981 and she still looks new after thousands of rounds and turning thirty years old now.

Hearsedriver and 586L-Frame, I notice a difference between your 586's (no dash). One has the S&W logo on the left side plate and the other doesn't. Is this because of different years of manufacture?

Rggeer, we'll be happy to see what Roy Jinks says about your stainless 586 when you letter it and post the results. We all know that nothing is impossible with Smith & Wesson.
