New (Old) S&W 457
Finally got my 457!!!! Very excited and can’t wait to shoot it. Here’s some pictures and a range report will follow soon. Ordered some night sights for it, new springs and a High Noon holster.

Very nice 457! Congrats! 
The 457 is THE most underrated 45 compact pistol out there. It has many users and fans here.
A lot of gun for the money too. Enjoy yours! Regards 18DAI

Great find you have there.
Did you find it locally or on line?
Have not seen one at the local big or small gun shows in a couple of years.
Now you can start searching for a Zanders edition 457.
Congrats.

I got it recently off of gunbroker. Had been scouring the local gun shops for a while but never had one turn up. The one time I did find a local 457 the shop owner wanted too much money. This one was won for $350 but the guy brought it down to $325 when I went to pay. Not a bad price I don’t think. It didn’t come with a box or anything but did come with 3 magazines.

That is a good deal at 350.00. And a great deal at 325.00 with the 3 mags.
Who was the seller?
I'd like to see what else he has.

Very nice, and the price was definitely right.
Mine is my favorite 45, by quite a large measure.

The seller was Base Camp Guns. Good guy and he was really quick getting the gun out to me. I would definitely recommend.

Nice find and I'm sure you will like the gun. I have the "Zanders Edition" the two tone 457 and really like mine. The only thing I did was add the XS Big Dot sights
