My only 41 magnum a Model 58 , late 1969 , one of the last S series before S&W went to the N series in 1970.
Was carried by a close friend an Officer with the Baton Rouge Police Department. He was a motorcycle cop with a big Harley Davidson and he wanted a weapon that could shoot through a car door....the 38 specials the department issued didn't do that too well, so he went with the 41 magnum, which was touted as "the perfect " police revolver at that time.
He retired, sold it to me with the black Bianchi Sam Brown police rig thrown in .
I removed the beat up factory grips for safe keeping, it wears Ahrends Retro Combats in Cocobolo for now. We go dancing as often as we can.
I have pictures but can't remember how to post them...will get help when wife returns. My avatar is the my model 58 .
