Default .41Mag Identification

I have a S&W .41Mag as follows:
1. Type - Hand Ejector
2. S/N - N834131
3 Caliber - .41 Magnum - Worded on the right side of the barrel
4. Barrel - 4" barrel
5. Rear Sight - Post-War Adjustable
Please tell me what I have, I can tell you the S/N on the frame is not the same as the number on the yolk.

Thank you
Noel

You see that "MOD. 57" on the frame when you open the cylinder? That`s what you have. That 69736 number isn`t a serial number. the "N" prefix number above the model number is the serial number and will match the number on the butt.

In that case you also have a jackpot. Very nice.

It is a large or N frame gun, first made in 1964 as a (slightly) less powerful alternative to the model 29 in .44 Magnum. It is likely from the early 1980s with the N prefix and number quoted.

I suspect you probably don't load your own ammunition for it, but you can find less than full power loads from a few ammo companies; easier on you and the gun. Full-power .41 Magnum from it would be quite a double handful. Hope this is helpful.
