Jim, if you are going to throw that 58 onto the leaves and much you might as well shoot it.
That's a sweet 57 too. An S prefix 57 is on my list. I've got the sought after 4" 657, but no S prefix 57...yet. Nicely done.

S57? N57?
New designations?

Saxon Pig, the N, S is the serial number prefix. The change from the S to N came with the 1968 Gun Control Act. For the 41 mags, the S prefix is real desirable.

They look like they're new! Thanks for sharing the pics of two of my favorite N-frames.

The Coke grips look great on the 57.
I was watching a set of PC Magna's about a week ago on e-bay. I forgot about them and they went for $108. I would have liked to had them for my 58 to get it back stock.
ETA: I just checked one of my 57's and it an S! S299xxx. I'll check the other one tomorrow. It's packed away.

Hey Greg
Those Grips for your 58 are back on Ebay. The winner thought the PC grips had been altered I guess. They're 17 SN digits away from my S58, check it out

Thanks! I wonder what the winner thought was altered on them?
Edit: Looks like the second guy in line got them.

CW- I am aware of the S&W numbering. My comment was meant to imply that S57 and N57 would not be correct terminology and we really don't need to start any new misleading terms. There are already plenty of them out there.

SP, I was somewhat puzzled by the post. Probably should have reread it and gleaned the true question and not assumed anything.

Mr. Bravestar: A nice set .41 Magnums.... Hard to find a more "User Friendly" handgun large enough to use on the force and as a mountain gun....I love the 4"ers!!
Thanks for posting....
