I was looking for a new 1911 when i found my dream revolver that i always wanted for 35+ years. Since i retired at 52yo about 9 years ago i never got me a to me from me retirement gift. I spotted the new S&W model 57 w/6" barrel in nickel finished marked just $699. I knew these listed for $1.161 too. Having the new plastic with nothing on it for the month i jumped on it. My new years resolution is to buy at least one gun a month this year too. As i get older my lifespan is getting shorter so i better enjoy everyday now too. I'm not rich by any way. I have a few $$ put away and now with the kids grown up and gone its my turn to party.
I noticed my new S&W model 57 has the key switch. I don't plan on ever using it but i hope it doesn't give me any problems. This S&W is my very first S&W gun. It has the most awesome trigger that i have ever felt on a factory revolver. I'm very impressed with the quality of the S&W too.
My local dealer has all the others in 41mag too. All S&W of course. Now next month its my 60th birthday celebration and its another to me from me gift again too. I'm torn between the S&W 57 in 41mag with the 4" barrel in nickel or the S&W 58 in 41mag with the fixed sights in nickel or stainless. These are two more great revolvers in 41mag. I want a 4" barrel in 41mag for a CCW gun.
I'm also bitten by the S&W bug now too. I have ruger revolvers in 357mag and in 44mag also. But i want to collect the S&W's in 357mag and in 44mag too. I really like the feel of the "N" frames.
Years ago colt and S&W had the nickel finish tied up because they were the best in doing nickel finishes. I figure to get what i can now in nickel finish because we just never know when it can be discontinued. I'm happy to see the S&W is still offering these classics in nickel finish too.
Any suggestions for another 41mag model??
Any suggestions for a S&W in 357mag?? 6'' barrel?
The only draw back is the 41mag ammo is expensive and the new brass is harder to get. But i can live with that. Bill
