The SMITH AND WESSON 586 is an L-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, purpose-built for robust performance and consistent accuracy. Its design integrates the strength required for magnum cartridges with the ergonomic handling preferred for duty, defense, and competitive applications. This 4-inch barrel variant offers a balanced platform, facilitating rapid sight acquisition and controlled recoil mitigation.
Key Features
Robust L-Frame Construction
The 586 utilizes Smith & Wesson’s durable L-frame, precision-machined from carbon steel. This frame design effectively absorbs the substantial forces generated by .357 Magnum cartridges, ensuring long-term structural integrity and operational reliability. The blued finish provides a classic aesthetic while offering a degree of corrosion resistance.
Precision-Engineered Barrel
Equipped with a 4-inch carbon steel barrel, this revolver optimizes projectile velocity for the .357 Magnum cartridge while maintaining maneuverability. The barrel is precisely crowned to protect the rifling and enhance bullet stability upon exit, contributing to intrinsic accuracy.
Reliable Double/Single Action Operation
The 586 features a proven double/single action trigger mechanism. The double-action pull provides a consistent, smooth operation for rapid engagements, while the crisp single-action mode facilitates deliberate, precision shot placement. The hammer is externally exposed, allowing for both modes of fire.
Adjustable Sighting System
For adaptable engagement across varying distances, the 586 integrates a pinned ramp front sight and an adjustable rear sight with a white outline. This configuration allows operators to precisely zero the firearm, accommodating different ammunition types and individual shooting preferences.
Ergonomic Grip Integration
Factory wood grips are fitted to the L-frame, providing a secure and traditional purchase. The grip profile is designed to distribute recoil effectively, enhancing control and reducing shooter fatigue during extended firing sessions.
