The Smith & Wesson Model 586 is widely regarded as one of the finest .357 Magnum revolvers ever crafted. This full-size, six-shot revolver combines the stopping power of the .357 Magnum cartridge with the smooth action and pinpoint accuracy that made it a favourite among competitive shooters and law enforcement officers.
With its distinctive blued steel finish, adjustable sights and classic L-frame design, the Model 586 offers the perfect balance of weight and control. The comfortable grip absorbs recoil effectively, making this powerful revolver surprisingly manageable to shoot, even for extended sessions at the range.
