I was issued a 58 in 1972. Wanted a 57 badly so I contacted the company that sold guns to the dept to order one. I was told due to the "Dirty Harry" movie 44's were unobtainable as all sold out with lengthy waiting list. And that 57s were in same boat as individuals would reborn the 57s in an attempt to $.
I sumise this was an upgrade to a 58 by someone who couldn't wait in line for the 57.
I changed depts and unfortunately sold the 58.
