Model 586 4"

wheelgnr · Aug 24, 2012

Picked up S&W 586 (M) 4 inch, nickel, about three days ago-fired first time this morning--smoothest handgun I have ever fired--much better shot than I am. Goes well with my 640-1 and the 19-4 I have on law-a-way at local Cabela's.

Just joined THR--lots of great discussion and information.

Congrats on the 586. They are superb wheel guns.

I bet you can't wait to pick up the 19-4. Two fine choices.

Welcome to THR.

Thanks for responses--I have gotten used to shooting 1911s over the years-still have couple-- Colt LWC and Ofcs--but this 586 is a fine weapon--looking forward to getting the 19-4. 586 nickel seems harder to clean--but worth it.

Hello friends and neighbors // Nice snag/save, I like the 586 but have never even seen one with a nickle finish, outstanding!

Here you go content, a 6" nickel 586. She looks a lot prettier in person, nickel guns are hard to take good pictures of. I have a theory about nickel guns, you never really get rid of fingerprints on them, you just move the 'prints around the gun with the rag

bikemutt, This is my first nickel handgun--what do you use to clean yours? Seems like the nickel is harder to clean than either the blue or the stainless. Nice looking 586 you have.

Don't use hoppes it will eat the copper under the nickel. I have a nickel model 19 & clean it with break free clp

Never owned a 586, but my first handgun was a 6" 686 and what an awesome handgun. Had to sell it during a divorce. S&W recently re-introduced the 586, but since I am partial to stainless steel, a 4" 686 is on my bucket list!

Mothers Mag polish works great.

bikemutt...that is a beauty, barely resembles my 6" blued 586.

I agree about the fingerprints and pics, hard to get either perfect when the finish is nickle.

I was able to purchase a 4" nickel 586 recently, the delivery has taken longer than expected. Such is life. I'll post some pics when it lands. Not sure what it is about nickel guns I find irresistable, I'm sure there's a cure for my illness
