Beautiful revolvers! I never get tired of looking at them. My only two L frames, 586 no dash 4" barrel and 686 no dash 2 1/2" barrel Lew Horton. Thanks for showing these!
I have a 4 inch 586 with Hogue rubber grips just like in the video. A super bedroom gun, hiking and camping handgun, powerful enough to put most animals and ALL 2 legged predators into the ground. Been with me since mid 1990s. Just a beautiful revolver. I recently got a 29, 4 inch .44 magnum to be its bigger sibling.
Those are super nice looking pieces! I’ve always wanted a 586 but I just can’t decide whether I should get the 4 inch or 6 inch one. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. I am going to get a set of wood grips for thr 4 inch within the week amd I'll put a video of it up. I ha e been looking for a perfect set. That is a dash 4 so it came with those rubber grips from factory
It depends on if you'll carry it a lot. I've got a 586-1 4" and a 28-2 6". Both are awesome, but the 4" is easier to pack. I used to carry it OWB with an untucked shirt just fine. My back is so destroyed I don't carry heavy hand cannons much.
Had a 6 inch 686 and I found it difficult to maneuver during transition drills. Went to the 4 inch 586 and haven’t looked back. Regardless, the S&W Combat Magnums are the best revolvers around. Timeless classics.
@@TerryBenton MY Dad got it from my high school friends' older brother, around 1981.He bought it and was told by their parents, sell it, no guns in the house, he was 21 or 22 back then and bought it without asking them first, so my friend went to my dad, and said my brother is selling a pistol, and well, it was a nickel plate 586 original after my dad passed in 96. I have it, no sir not selling it, it's going to my son.
There seems to be a lot of misinformation concerning the internal lock (aka the Hilary hole). As unattractive as it is it had nothing to do with the Clinton administration. It had everything to do with one of the companies that owned S&W during that time frame and AFTER the British owners who made the “deal” with the Clinton administration. The owner of S&W after the Brits also owned the patent for the internal lock. Having owned a large number of S&W revolvers including 586’s with and without the internal lock I can say with a doubt that the lock has no effect on the trigger what so ever. Reports I have read about failures of the lock have always seem sketchy to me. These reports came out when the lock was first installed as many seen it as a capitulation to the gun control movement. You don’t hear much about the locks failing anymore simply because they don’t. I hate how they look just as much as the next guy and I hate the gun control advocates and I have never voted for a Democrat in my life. But let’s tell the true story behind the lock and stop spreading the misinformation about it.
Beautiful , for some reason I think the rubber grips look good on that gun , but then again duct tape would look good on that gun 😂
Thank you
Funny....but true!
Thanks Terry for this presentation. I have both of these too.

That is super cool. The 586 is not as plentiful out in the wild as the 686 is

Both are great guns. Thanks for sharing
The bluing on both is very nice. I prefer the wood grips over the rubber grips too. Good stuff.

Thanks for the show! Hard to beat a 586/686
Thank you. They are the best size revolvers made

I absolutely like the 4 inch version better and I have both. Thanks for watching

@detpak congratulations on owning it. You son will also appreciate it one day like you do
Have u ever had the side plates off of these firearms to oil and clean them or that’s not needed to do ? Thanks 🙏
I habe neverbhad them off. I do not think that is very necessary. Thanks for watching
What are meme parts ?
Mold injection parts
