caliber..l own a couple 657 PC guns...657-4 & 657-5..

Smith&Wesson seems to have completely abandoned the caliber...They

didn't even bother honoring the 41Magnum's Fiftieth Birthday in 2014.

That's sad too.. A great cartridge by ALL aspects..Seems to be a renewed

interest in the cartridge lately..Hornady just came out with FTX ammo and

bullets in 41.. Couple other gun makers have come out with new models in

41 Magnum in the past couple years..


Enjoy Hedron..Shoot it.. Just don't look at it...Your 657 is like a pretty

woman and a fast car...They are to be U S E D!!
I know of someone trying to sell a 657 PC snub (with IL) for a ton of cash...his thought is S&W is simply not going to make these anymore (even though they seem to pump out a few more every so many years since 1998 or so).
