New 586 Classic

[hsc]

I'm considering buying a new 586. Haven't decided on what barrel length yet, may get both 4 and 6 inch. Has anyone else bought one of these new guns. I sure do like the looks of the blue over stainless.

I'm interested in one also. Just have not seen one in person yet. Thinking of the 6" since I already have a 686

To finish. I have the 686 4"

I own a 586 6" and a 686 4", both of them no-dash.
I prefer the blued finish on the 586, but I like the 4" barrel better on the 686.

How's the recoil on 4" with 357 loads?

How's the recoil on 4" with 357 loads?

Not bad at all really. 158gr has a nice, strong kick to it but nothing awful.

I just bought one and love it. It's very accurate with 38spls, have not yet used any 357 mags. I got the 4" and planning to get the 6" as well. I love blued guns!

Have one of the new Classic versions in 4-inch barrel here, best 25-yard five-shot groups were a couple strings both at 1 7/16 inches with a Black Hills 125-grain JHP.

Did not try any .38s, just six different Magnums.
Not a bad shooter.
I've never liked that grip configuration, but there are many other options.

Love the 4" Blue, the balance and carryability is superb. 6" are obviously bbl heavy.

Had a 6-incher for a while, didn't like it. Too muzzle-heavy.
