Smith 586 4" came home today

[bikemutt]

I was fortunate enough to find this absolutely mint condition S&W 586 blued 4" for a very reasonable price, I can't find any evidence the gun was even fired by whomever owned it. That minor problem will be corrected in short order this weekend at the range

In any event, she seemed too pretty to me to just wipe her down and put her in the safe, here's a couple pictures.

Nice gun.

Wow, Bikemutt, what a sweetie! You should be fixed for 4" med frame .357 for what.. about 3 lifetmes?

Well not quite: I've got the 6" L-frames covered, the 4" ones just started, this is the first specimen, I am so grateful to have run across, and been able to purchase it.

I don't quite know what it is about L-frames but I just find them a great joy to shoot, and of course to admire, but I'd never be that shallow, not me, no siree

Nice score Mutt! What's going on with you guys? All I hear about is the shortage of nice older Smiths on your side of the mountains and then you find something on a weekly basis.

 

[Radagast]

He causes the shortages.

Nice find bikemutt. If I had stumbled upon that I think I would have sold a kidney to own it.

In all fairness, this was an online gun. I can tell you the journey has been long on this one. It was a 7 day auction I bid on early so it wouldn't get sold out locally. No one else bid so I won it. Then the seller sort of disappeared. So after a couple weeks I called him. We settled up right then on then phone. He shipped the gun and it arrived as my FFL went on vacation. FFL returns and the NICS decided I hadn't waited long enough so they delayed me for two days so I could stew about it. Today they proceeded me and I brought her home. I feel as if I've been waiting my entire life for this one

 

[Baba Louie]

Everything comes to he who waits... Well worth the wait, eh, Bikemutt?

Nice.

 

[OrangePwrx9]

Pretty!

Let us know how it shoots.

 

[skidder]

Another good score by bikemutt.

No vacancy in your safe? Don't worry, I won't charge a dime for storage.

 

[Sam1911]

Sheesh. Make a guy jealous why don'tcha?

 

[Rollis R. Karvellis]

That is what I, call a Dirty Safe Queen. It is used when you buy it, and it is keep to only be shot a little.

I, have a nickle 29, that get's about a box a year because it is to nice to nice to be ran hard.

 

[EVIL]

Great score ... I just got a 6" 586 no dash on a trade ... mine is slightly rougher with some minor holster wear, but is mechanically perfect, and is now the gun shoot the best with. Personal best thus far, is a 1" group off-hand (no supporting hand) at 10 yrds ... with a decent .357 Mag load. The SA trigger pull is a dream. I love it --- it is my favorite pistol!

 

[DC Plumber]

Nice Job!! I have a 4" 586 no dash in like new condition. An absolute work of art by Smith and Wesson.

I wish I could meet the guys who built those guns back then. If I could only have one handgun, the 4" 586 may just be it!

I also have a 4" 19-4 in like new condition. What a pair.

 

[Cearbhall]

Man, that's nice. I wish they still made 'em like that. I have a newer 686, I'd trade for one of those in an instant.

 

[Fishslayer]

Those stocks are beautiful...

 

[buckeye8]

What a great find. I also have a 4-inch 586 no-dash, and they are wonderful to shoot. Yours is as nice as any I've ever seen for sale.

Dang Bikemutt, between those 6 inch ones you've got and this one, you're gonna get me looking for L frames now. Just when I think I'm getting ahead in the S&W wheel-gun game, someone's gotta post pics of something nice I have to have...

Yes, that's how it goes.

CajunBass is the one who gets me every time; I see some of his pictures and go straight to gunboker.com :banghead:
