I have always been intrigued about the life of Bufford Pusser ever since I watched "Walking Tall" when I was a kid. I heard he carried a .41 Magnum and used it to kill a couple of people, and wondered about any other details about the gun and if it was a M57 or M58. Recently I found a Yahoo Group called "Crime Myths" and it has some good info and photos about his life and a list of his guns(he had some pretty nice guns for a small town sheriff) and on the list are serial numbers. Listed is a Smith & Wesson .41 Magnum, nickle plated with serial number 29482. There is no letter in the serial number but it should be around 1965-1966, and can anyone tell if this is a M-57 or M-58? The gun is owned by someone in Tennessee who's name is kept very confidential for some strange reason.
