Great video! My dad had a 586 (no dash) 8 3/8" barrel that sadly is now mine. I don't think he ever fully disassembled it to completely clean it... now it's been done. Thanks!
I used to struggle with putting the side plate back on while properly aligning the hammer block. I learned to position the hammer block half way neither up or down where t interfaces to a pin at its bottom. I put the side plate on and gently press it in while I move the trigger action. The hammer block will now align with the grove on the side plate.
Great video. This is the bible for 586L comp owners. I am buying a model 19 carry comp which I think is very similar. I'm not an expert on it but am hoping to be a very knowledgeable hobbyist. Seven shots is a lucky number for the 586 L comp but I still like the Model 19 six shot a bit more.
I am a novice so take my comments for what they may or may not be worth. I found the video very instructional with one of the biggest problems being lighting. Of course it did not help that you are dealing with a blue/black gun, but your light seems tightly focus and has somewhat of a blue tint. Those springs are small and in tight places and at times, with fingers in the way, it was tough seeing exactly how they went back together. Taking it apart should be not problem, but the "back together" part is where a little better light/angle would be helpful. I just acquired a used -3 model meaning it is 30+/- years old (square butt, firing pin on the hammer and no hilary hole) and my guess is that it has never been apart and needs lubing. But I will have to watch the video another time or 2 before I tackle disassembly. All that said, I did enjoy the video and learned quite a bit about the workings of the revolver. Thanks, Jim
You know I’ve tried different lighting, camera angles and sometimes it works good and others not so good. Some of my newer videos look better but I’m still trying to find that ideal lighting that can show those small areas better.
Also depending on what you couldn’t see check down further in my videos for another smith video you may be able to see what you need, it’s a DAO but it’s all the same pretty much
Help/advice please. I was trying to take out the main spring on a new 586. After backing out the tension screw all the way my main spring is still hung up on the stirrup and won’t move. Any remedy for this?
WOW! Very interesting. Who taught you how to do this? Where can I learn how to do that? I would love to work on my 586 L-Comp like you are. Great skill set! 😎 👍
I’ve taught myself, just started taking apart guns years ago, eventually you learn how different things work so taking them apart becomes easier and easier. Smiths pretty much all disassemble the same so once you’ve done one you can do almost all of them.
I've removed the Yoke in order to remove and clean the Cylinder but when I reinstall the Cylinder, and fire the Gun, the screw that keeps the yoke in place, always becomes loose! I can't seem to tighten the screw enough. I've lot a few of them for that reason. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I am buying this revolver as my first handgun. This is so incredibly helpful, thank you.

Great S&W revolver detail video. You save a lot of people time and money DIY the maintenance.

this really helped when I upgraded all the internals in my 586. thanks for the detailed instructions. Cheers

Great video very nice. Very interesting.
Nice job good video helped me out a lot thanks
Thank you for going in to detail on the hand spring !! Very helpful

Hello, could you tell me if the 3 inches of the barrel are real or because of the vented barrel it more like 2,5 inches? Thanks

Great video! 😊
Thanks for the detail on the hand spring. It was wearing my ass out!
Awesome video!
31:44 - would it be a good idea to “glue” that bright metal part to the cover with gun oil to prevent it from falling out?
very helpful

I drilled and tapped that cover plate in mine a put a grease nipple on it.

Is the little spring and plunger in the screw?
@@TheGunBench Yes, there is.
That’s odd never really herd of them backing out like that. You could try a small amount of removable loctite
@@TheGunBench I will, thanks!
Is the 586-8 the same way?
More than likely , most smith double action revolvers are all the same
Hell, don’t tell me revolvers are “simple” after that.
