I have 3 right now, 2 57's and a 58. My first new S&W was my 6 inch 57 that I bought with money I got from teaching an adult ed class. I got nickel cause Skeeter had a nickel 29 and I liked the way it worked. That gun started me on my nickel craze. This is my 58 I had the factory renickel. It has not been fired since.
