S&W 586 with range report

[Mustang]

My younger son visited over the weekend and we got some range time with a few pistols and revolvers, including this S&W 586.




We took turns shooting it, 6 rounds for him and 6 rounds for me, single action, off hand at 25 yards with Remington 158gr RNL

Very nice indeed. I had a 686. Along with other S&W revolvers I noted they are more accurate with the 158gr LSWC due to the barrel twist. Colt revolvers have a different twist and shoot the 158gr RNL better.

Thanks for sharing

Nice 586 wish mine was like yours. I have a new one with the dumb lock.

Beautiful

That is a beautiful revolver. I know because I have one also, only mine has a 4" barrel. I just put a Dawson Fiber Optic front sight on it today as a matter of fact. I love the feel of this revolver in my hand. You and your son are magnificent shots my friend. Great job grouping at a target 25 yards away, and not even resting it on a sand bag, range bag, or anything else.

sell it and get the pre-lock that you want.

While I have a dozen or so S&W's, I never owned an L frame until about a year ago when I found this 586-1 at a local estate sale. Since then I have become a huge fan of these revolvers and I shoot this one far more than any of my others. This one just seems to have the perfect balance for me and it is my favorite hiking gun.

I want a 4inch 586...

Beautiful revolver. Are you shooting a bit high? Nice group.

586/686 are wonderful handguns. I own two 686s and would scarf up a 586 "just because" if I ever saw one at the LGS.

Thanks, Che. i love the 148 gr WC ammo, but it isn't easy to find anymore.

Yep, i definitely prefer the pre-lock S&W's

Thanks, Carl. I've always thought the L frames were beautiful revolvers...similar to the Python in some ways.

The 6" barrel and crisp single action trigger pull really make for an accurate handgun

I have an old 586 and yeah I slightly over compensated, but I love it! It's the bottom right.
