The 586 is back!

[ShinySix]

I've always wanted a new blued 357. I'm so glad they brought the 586 back. Its not totally original (hole with frame mounted pin), but that's as close as we're gonna get without buying used.

Product: Model 586 4 Inch Barrel

Interesting that its a 6 shooter.They made a small run around 04 or 05 ,but those held 7 rounds.

I see they are tagged Shot Show 2012. How did you find these, I do not see any others ?

Sometimes you got to just move on and buy it, it is what it is, or get used.

Also, I see they did them in six inches as well:

I was browsing their website this afternoon. Clicked on revolvers and low and behold. Couldn't believe it; never thought they would bring it back.

just out of curiosity, how much would one expect to pay for a pre-lock, 6" 586 used in, 98% + condition?

 

[gumpys]

why the hell would anyone want the new one? I love all my old one's and all are amazing shooters and built to last , do not need to waste money on a new one that probably wont last 5 years and have a IL and probably have a horrible trigger.

+1 all the way!

$500 seems about right. I watched them on Gunbroker for several months this year and finally got one (4") LNIB for $550.

I would buy one, I'm a fan of the "new gen" S&W's.

My Dad also has a 6" 586 he bought new in 1989, and even with this I would still buy a new 586.

It seems like they basically just decided to make the 586 again because they already have the 686 standard 6-shot in production, and it wouldn't be a big stretch to just make a blued model.

While I agree that things of old were built with a much higher level of tender loving care than things built today, I feel that this statement is WAY over the top and does nothing productive to encourage new shooters to go out and purchase new guns and expand the shooting sports and firearms collecting hobby that we all enjoy. You do realize that Jerry Miculek shoots tens of thousands of rounds per year through his new production S&W revolvers don't you? The new guns are built to last and will last a lifetime with moderate care. Parts broke on the old guns just like they break on the new ones. I have old guns with good triggers and I have old ones with not so good triggers. The same goes for the new ones. I buddy of mine just bought an old Model 28 and I just bought a new 627. I honestly can't say that one trigger is any better than the other.

Of all my handguns including M-19, and several M-27' my 586 is one of my favorites. I know some don't care for the full barrel lug, but for me they are one of the best handling revolvers S&W has ever produced.

I have a 586 4" and a 686 2.5" and just gave a brother of mine a 586 6".

The L Frame 357s are workhorses and extremely accurate guns. Personally I like the CNC weapons as they are more uniform. I remember the days of Bangor-Punta and buying S&W was like Forrest Gump and his chocolates. I have two SMiths with the "lock": a 625JM and a 442. Neither one seems to be anything more than a cosmetic blemish.

If I were shooting "double-atomic" loads through either I would pull the locks but I am not.

Beyond discouraging new shooters, I find his statements to be just plain old incorrect. While bad ones slip through every now and then, S&W's current revolvers are fine guns. My new S&W's are jsut as nice as my old ones. My 25-13 is absolutely superb.

While its a person's prerogative to dislike modern S&W's and prefer to spend their money elsewhere, its unfair and incorrect to present these new guns as junk. Its just simply not so. S&W, lock, MIM and all still produces the finest DA revolver on the market.

JMO...

You do realize that Jerry is not shooting the same out-of-the-box stock revolvers that we are buying and shooting, don't you?
Jerry himself would tell you that a bone stock S&W could never hold up to the punishment he gives his guns. First off, the timing is way off for the speed with which he shoots. Second, he has to constantly retune & replace parts.

Believe me, Jerry's guns are a far cry from what they were when they first came out of the factory.

I recently found a beauty in pristine condition with the best grip fit I have ever seen for $500.
