There's a reason the Model 586 earned the name Distinguished Combat Magnum back in the early 80s. Smith & Wesson built the L-Frame specifically to handle a steady diet of full power .357 Magnum, something the beloved K-Frames struggled with over time. The 586 Classic brings that same recipe back: a carbon steel frame and cylinder wearing a rich blue finish, a 4 inch barrel with the full underlug out front, and checkered wood grips with S&W medallions that look like they belong in a display case. It also chambers .38 Special +P, so cheap range days and soft shooting practice sessions are always on the table.
That full underlug barrel isn't just for looks. The extra weight up front soaks up recoil and keeps the muzzle planted, which makes running magnum loads far more pleasant than it has any right to be. At around 41 ounces, this revolver settles into your hand and stays put through long strings of fire. The double action pull is smooth and stage-able, and the single action break is crisp enough for serious target work. Pair that with a red ramp front sight and an adjustable white outline rear, and you've got a sight picture that's fast up close and precise at distance.
As part of the Classic Series, this 586 keeps the square butt profile, serrated backstrap, .312 smooth trigger, and .375 hammer that defined the original, while benefiting from modern manufacturing tolerances. When the new Colt Python hit the market, plenty of reviewers put the 586 up against it head to head, and this Smith held its own every time at a fraction of the cost. Whether you're after a woods gun, a nightstand revolver, a range companion, or simply a blued sixgun done right, the 586 Classic checks every box. Some guns you buy to use, some you buy to admire. This one handles both jobs without breaking a sweat.
Yes, and that's one of its biggest strengths. The 586 is rated for .357 Magnum and .38 S&W Special +P, so standard .38 Special runs through it just fine too. Most owners do the bulk of their practice with mild .38s and save the magnums for when it counts.
They're the same L-Frame revolver underneath. The 586 is the blued carbon steel version while the 686 is stainless. Beyond the finish and material, the handling, capacity, and sight setup are essentially identical, so it mostly comes down to whether you prefer classic blue steel or low maintenance stainless.
Very well for a 4 inch gun. It weighs right around 41 ounces, and the full underlug barrel puts extra steel out front where it tames muzzle flip. The L-Frame was designed from the ground up for a constant diet of magnum loads, so it stays comfortable and holds up over the long haul.
The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation and features a white outline notch that pairs with the red ramp front blade. That combination gives you a quick, high contrast sight picture and lets you dial in your zero for different loads, which matters since .38 Special and .357 Magnum often print to different points of impact.
