S&w 586

Would you guys recommend switching the original grips for rubber hogues?

I put Hogues on my 686 and they are really comfortable. I like the look of the black grips on SS.

On my 586 I just couldn't bring myself to putting Hogues on it, so I settled for cocobolo Ahrends instead. They are nice and I like the look better.

 
No on the grips. A 6" 357 has minimal recoil. I would much rather have wood grips. Rubber grips hold water and seem to always start rust spots. I would rather have good looking original wood every time.
 
Would you buy a Ferrari and then put it under glass to look at it while your years slip away? Or pay some young man to drive it for you?

SHOOT IT!

No one is promised tomorrow.

If you think you'll eventually want to sell it or mostly stare at it, get a workhorse like a GP100 to keep you busy in the meantime.
 
My Dad bought his brand new before I was born (Pre 82). His was the first run and had to go back to Smith and has the "M" stamped in it since it was modified. Has zero holster wear and has been shot minimal. It's honestly the prettiest blue gun I've ever laid hands on and still looks brand new.

Since I've gotten into shooting more, we shoot it more. In fact, just ran a box of 38 through it last weekend. I LOVE that gun and it will stay in the family long after he and I are gone I'm sure.

The short verison - shoot it :)
