I have a 57-6, classic, I have had about 5 months. In my area, large frame Smith's are a challenge to find, and when you do, the price is ridiculous. I wanted a 41 Magnus, shooter, that is what I got, and I think well enough of it, that I put a pair of Culina grips on it, and did a wilson spring kit. It will out shoot me, any day. And as soon as I can get it put on my permit, a new 27 classic will be mine. If it shoots as good as my 57, it will hopefully get the same treatment with some culinas.
