This has to be a sweet gun. It sure is gorgeous. The 686+ I had was a -5 and except for the composition of the metal it was made from it was very similar to your 586. To me it's the perfect 357.

Why I know some Ruger fans will disagree I think these models had near perfect balancing, thats what I really like they have the simplicity of a revolver but the smoothness and feel you might have on a semi-auto. I am not a huge fan of the newer 686 /586 that have the locking mechanism, models seems that something is slightly lacking I think what ever they did after that effected the trigger some. But still all revolvers you gotta love for technology that goes back 140+ years. :)
 
I have a Ruger Old Army that is Blued and has the original "Ivory" stocks from the Factory. I've had others but I have left this one unfired. I even have the original box and the original shipping box.:):):)
 
My Old Army, bought on my birthday in March 1986, gets shot at least once a month with a minimum of 96 shots - since 1998 it's the only kind of handgun that people here in England, Scotland and Wales are allowed to shoot as guests at a gun club.

I'm happy to say that I'm on the fourth [maybe fifth, I misremember] set of nipples, having shot at least 25,000 RB down the still-minty barrel since I bought it.

See, here we HAVE to shoot them, if we have them, but it's really no hardship, having fun with a big BP revolver. Having one of these lovely guns and not shooting it, is to me like having a good horse and watching it canter around the corrall, but never riding it.

I know a guy on another forum who has two of each variant ever made - all unfired in the back of his safe...what a pity.
