Smith and Wesson Model 57 .41 Magnum

[Snub357]

Found this cherry Model 57 a few days ago. Pinned barrel and recessed cylinder.

.41 Magnum

Six inch barrel, and pretty nice wood.

More N Frames=good

Excellent! That's a fine example of Smith & Wesson craftmanship. I'm interested in the .41 Magnum. Plan to try one out when I get the chance. Have you shot it yet? If so, how's the muzzle flip?

 

[Mike Irwin]

How much did you have to give for it?

 

[shojin]

Thats soooo sweet! An older Model 57 is definitely on my want list. I'd also be interested in knowing how much you had to part with for it.

Well Now, I Looked Really Closely And I Don't See Enough Red To Call It A Cherry.

How 'bout a blueberry instead??

 

[Snub357]

This blueberry cost me $400

 

[Mike Irwin]

Dang.

$400 is a sweet price. In Northern Virginia it would probably be on a table for minimum $600 at a gunshow.

Snub,
Very nice M-57. I have two of them in six inch. One's real pretty like yours and the other is an S serial number with some wear that I carry while hunting.
Those led to a M-657 in 8 3/8 inch and that led to a Ruger Bisley in .41 mag.

They're like those Lays potatoe chips as one isn't enough, enjoy yours.

My Model 57.

Here is a pic of my Model 57 I've had it about 15 Years. Its in mint condition and it kicks like a mule.

Can I Play Too?

I'm not the photographer you guys are...

Vintage 1981 - Recessed, not pinned. Unfired as of now.

 

[Mike Irwin]

I don't have the 57, I have a 58, which I dearly love. I paid $300 for it in about 99% condition 4 or so years ago, and I've been looking for a good 57 ever since.

 

[Snub357]

In a moment of insanity, I passed on a 58 for $350 last year. How dumb was that?

Recently I've been looking for one, to no avail.

 

[BillCA]

I had a Model 58 .. a 1969 gun... stolen.

The sad thing is, in Kalifornia, I doubt I'll ever see one again shy of $700.

The 58 is probably the sweetest gun, especially if the action is slick & smooth. Shoots right where you point it.
