just purchased a 19-4 4 inch blued today. looking to get a 586 4 inch blue also. asking everyone for their opinion on these guns. i love the 19-4.

I love both of those guns.
Isn't the Smith and Wesson 686 (and sister 586) the world's best revolver currently in production?

I think Korth would disagree.

Mass produced and available ($$$) to the regular Joe like You and Me, I meant.
Well, Hell, Doc. Put it that way...
I had three S&W's before the boating accident, and wouldn't have traded them for anything. But I gotta tell ya, for sheer indestructibility, I give extremely high marks to Ruger revolvers. I've had two in single action and one in double action. That Security Six is the one gun I regularly kick myself for ever selling.

What the hell kind of question is that?
I would liken it to asking those of us with more then 1 kid which one we love the best.

I never owned or much less ever shot a Ruger.
I came upon my 686-5 after I traded for a piece of crap Glock 23.
No regrets.

which one out of the 19-4 and the 586 is more scarce and better for collecting? excuse my ignorence on this subect. im new to collecting handguns. i want as many as i can get now due to the knucklehead in office now
It seems to me that there were fewer 586's manufactured. I could be wrong.
wundudnee or Saxon Pig know more about S&W's than I'll ever know.
Can't go wrong either way
Most real S&W lovers prefer the earlier P&R guns.
The 19 has more panache.

Real manly S&W lovers like 'em in "N" frame.
And I REALLY like N frames.
I can't think of any reason to buy a double action revolver other than Smith and Wesson.

But K frames are cool, too.
So are J frames, for that matter.
I even let the I frame sneak in.
While I have far more S&Ws than anything else, I still love my Colts.

Doc find ya a Pre 1973 Ruger Blackhawk that has not had the retrofitted transfer bar safety installed and you will fall in love[;)] There are darn few single action's out there other than say a Freedom Arms that will have such a sweet action[:D] I have owned Ruger double action revolvers as well and found them strong as the proverbial ox but they for some reason are not as accurate as their single action brothers-or as accurate as a Colt or S&W.
They are both fine revolvers imho, but the k frame is a thing of beauty. There is nothing quite as sexy as a nice p&r model 19.
Oh, agreed. the Model 19 has sex appeal, but as a SHOOTER I'd the the 586 any day

There is no doubt that the L frame will digest many more full magnum rounds

Indeed you are correct. I loved my 686-M before it melted down in my safe. Best handgun ever produced. No arguments are even valid against that point!!
I have the 686 but you might not like the short barrel?
