I have a nickle plated S&W 586, no dash I bought in 1984. I recently bought a NIB Colt Python. Naturally a quasi-comparison is inevitable.
My 586 is very slick from many years of shooting, the Python is velevety smooth right out of the box.
After lusting after a Python for many many years, I was surprised to find the 586 gives up little if anything to the Colt in smoothness, trigger pull, lock-up, and general feel (subjective of course). My 586 has held up extremely well after firing thousands and thousands of rounds, in fact, everything works, fits, and feels like jeweled perfection.
I do like this Python, but the old forged steel 586's are truly a milestone in S&W .357's.
