I got my hands on a 1980 Model 57 (serial number N674xxx) but this gun seems to be a mix of the Model 57 (frame) and the Model 58 (barrel). Was this option available? I am not a S&W specialist. The pin looks untouched as the gun looks in mint condition as well. The problem is that this combination is shooting high, no surprise because of the very short front sight. The combination looks good (I like it) but the question is: Is this gun a piece of **** or just a rare (stupid?) custom combination.
I attache a picture of my Model 66 how the barrel should looks like.

Had a gunsmith friend of mine back in the early 90s that we swapped frames. He wanted a fix sighted .44 Mag and had a 4" M29. I had a second 4" M58. He filed down a the front sight of that 4" M29 barrel and built up a front sight on my 4" M58 barrel.
Henry is still listing 4 models of .41 Mag rifles and Charter Arms still lists their .41 Mag Pug
