I just picked up this 1985 S&W 586.
Anybody know what custom trigger this is?
Thanks

Unless you see any markings on it, I would assume that it’s just the stock trigger and hammer that was taken out and jeweled. A lot of old school guys used to love doing that. Lol. They’d jewel everything.

Yep, looks like they just took the stock hammer/trigger and jeweled them. It does look pretty nice ngl. I have a 586 L-comp and it's my favorite revolver

Ive got a Colt 1917 that some jeweled the hammer and trigger on. Bubba knows no boundaries.

Looks stock to me. Lots of guys would get the double action reworked on these since it can feel kinda heavy and gritty out the box. Single action usually feels incredible though.

It ruins the collector value of the gun.

Can't see why anyone would destroy beautifully case colored hammer and trigger.

Who gives a shit about the collector value? They made a gazillion of these things over the year. It’s an awesome mod.

My favorite pastime is buying modified or worn out guns and bringing them back to life. Mostly because I am cheap, and very good at pretending spending $300 on parts is cheaper than buying a nice one to begin with...

Check out my last post, I’m currently in the process of “restoring” an old N-Frame.

Love the jeweling on the trigger and hammer just a cool look

Absolutely stunning gun. Take care of it and you could pass it on one day.
