I traded into a S&W 586 and I picked it up from my FFL's today.
My intention was to trade it +cash for a decent 1911...but now I'm not so sure.
After cleaning it up some, I really like this revolver. Compared to my GP100, its a real cadillac. The trigger stroke is much shorter than the GP100, plus its a world smoother.
Beautiful dark blue finish. 4" bbl.
DA trigger is a pleasure to squeeze.
Hammer mounted firing pin and no saftey lock.
The topstrap and the top of the bbl are finished in matte. Front sight has the orange insert, I'm not that crazy about that, but otherwise I really like this wheelgun.
I'm going to shoot it tommorow, then I'll deceide if the GP100 stays or goes. Only need one 4" bbl .357 in the safe.
Strangly, S&W doesn't list the 586 on their website. Is it discontinued?
