My first real/wheel gun. (S&W 586)

View · by **Flyby** on Wed Oct 02, 2013 10:53 am

Since getting into and aquiring a small collection of semi auto pistols over the past few years I decided it was finally time to put a revolver into the mix. I knew from the beginning I wanted a classic looking smith and wesson 357 that was blued and had wood grips. After doing some reasearch online and looking at all the different models I really liked the look of the 586 with the full length underbarrel lug it had. I was also excited to find out they did a rerelease of it last year. One thing I didnt realize was how hard it would be to actually find one but after visiting and calling about 8 different stores with no luck arenzen arms had a new one just come in when i called. After shooting this thing once with both 38s and 357s I think Im now hooked on to revolvers. :lol:

Can't go wrong with that one! Very nice. I'm a revolver fan myself.

May I ask the price of this? I am looking for a .357 with 3"-4" barrell. I still regret selling my two 686's (no dash) that I bought back in the 80's. Dumbest sale I EVER did! Now I want a larger framed .357 for my wife to practice her shooting/reloading with .38 spcl loads. I want the heavier gun to help with felt recoil.

Nice weapon! I love shooting wheel guns, I've got them in 5 calibers and love shooting them all! I also have semi-autos and shoot them too!

I got this one for 750 which was about the same as the other stores that I got a quote for ordering one in. I think cabelas has them listed online for 800. This gun is definitly on the heavy side and recoil is very minimal even when shooting 357s through it.

Sweet gun. This will be my next .357. Your picture looks exactly like my .44Mag 29-2. Beautiful. You did well.
Congratulations on a fine purchase.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Beautiful revolver!

I went looking for that same one but ended up with a Ruger GP100 that I found for a great price.

As of Oct. 2, ThunderJohn had a new 686 4" in stock for $699.99 + tax for cash, if anyone is interested.

I have no affiliation with ThunderJohn, nor will receive any monetary gain if one buys this or not!
