Here are my two Md 57's. The 4 inch gun shipped in Oct 1965 and the 6 incher shipped in May 1964. You gotta love a 57 with Cokes!

Jim,
I accidentally fell in love with the 41 Magnum cartridge about three decades ago. A close friend of mine needed cash due to a pending divorce. I ended up with my first model 57, a sweet looking 6" nickel revolver. That revolver is in the lower left of this old 41 Magnum group photo.

Not all firearms in this photo are 57/357/657 Smith & Wessons but all are 41 Magnum



A dozen or so more have been added since this image was taken. The most recent was a 357NG revolver.



Here are a few more of the S&Ws.

The first one is my sons 1966 "S" prefix model 57, while the second is his 57-2. I just realized that we don't have any pictures of his 4" 657 or his model 58. Guess we'll have to remedy that situation.

This is the only 57 I have ever owned. Bagged it on GunBroker about 5 years ago for the starting price of $325 as I was the only bidder. Seller was a pawn shop in Texas.

Nice and an outright robbery! Congrats!

Here are my .41 mags. Not all 57's. Two 57's, one 58 and a 3" 657. Love em all but the 6 inch is my sentimental favorite as it's taken many a deer. Paid $175.00 for it NIB in 76.

I paid more for the Keith Brown stocks than I did the M57.

Default My two 57s.
The 8 3/8s was bought in 1987, sold in 1995 and luckily came home this spring. The four inch was also purchased this spring. both are from 1980. Now if I could only find a 58.

Here's my 4" 57-nothing in nickle. It came with the wooden box, tools and shipping sleeve. One of my favorites!
