I ordered my M57 last week and it arrived yesterday. I paid the handpick fee, which I am not sure if it was worth it or not. Overall, the pistol is in great shape with the exception of the idiot mark on the slide. No biggie. I can probably cold blue it. The serial numbers on the barrel, slide and frame all match. The barrel was pristine with strong rifling and only a little copper fouling.
The slide to frame fit was very tight and the barrel locks up just fine. The trigger is actually quite nice. It's not match grade, but it's not bad at all. Internally, everything looks brand new. Both magazines look new too. Externally, there is holster wear and the idiot scratch like I mentioned earlier. On mine, the safety is difficult to engage but easy to disengage.
The longer grip helps the M57 fit my hand very nicely and it points naturally as well. I haven't shot it yet, but I will very soon. For $199 plus shipping and Ohio sales tax, I feel the M57 was well worth it.
