S&W Model 57-1 .41 Magnum

[Alte Schule]

Have had and have several S&W's but never had a Model 57. Found the price agreeable, maybe a little on the high side, but I've always wanted one so there's that. 1 owner, no holster wear, barely noticeable turn ring, 1981 Manufacture date, barrel is pristine as are the grips.
Going to order some ammo tonight.

Beautiful.

Very nice. I think the 41mag might be the best fit for a N frame. Too bad the cartridge didn't catch on as well as some others.

I had a 41mag Blackhawk and thought very highly of the cartridge.

SWEET!!

After stumbling upon a Redhawk 7.5” a little while ago I like the .41 so much 4” 57 or 657 is now a bucket list gun for me....

You found a nice one

Stay safe!

Hi...
That is just a sweet looking N frame...
I have a very nice, accurate Model 57 that is one of my favorite handguns.
Have a couple of Blackhawks in .41Mag as well. Always on the lookout for a good deal on another .41Magnum.
A very underappreciated caliber that is deserving of greater acceptance by handgunners everywhere.

Niceness! I learned to shoot centerfire on a .41 just like that... it also took me about 10 years to UNlearn all the bad habits I developed shooting something like the .41 as my first centerfire.

Too bad you are so far south... we could have a .41 confab!

Near the top of my list of guns that I regret selling is a Model 57 with an 8 3/8" Barrel. Got frustrated due to lack of available components. Of course that was pre internet days and if you didn't have a catalog or word of mouth, you had no clue where to get stuff. Lately I've been getting the urge to get another on since there are so many different components available.

The One Handgun I Regret Selling after all these years was my 6.5" 657 Classic (the pre-Classic Hunter version.) In a moment of weakness I sold it to buy my M1a. I love my M1a, but I still wish I had that .41.
