Really enjoying seeing all these beautiful 41 mags. Doc44, I'm still searching for a beauty with cokes like you have there! Here's another small family photo of some no dash nickel 57s.

Not a fan of the 41 magnum, but I enjoy looking at the guns. They're beauties. I just imagine them to be 357 magnum revolvers.
 
New member, first post other than new member posting so hopefully I do this correctly! No, I sure hope that you can't have too many as I'd like to have many more 41 mags! It's my favorite caliber and I pick up as many as I can when I come across them but congrats on scoring four from one seller as they'd be great additions to any collection!!! Here's a photo of a family of 657s with the 3" Lew Horton being one of my favorite 41 mags :D Thanks for letting me share if I did this correctly!

WV2A,
Your post and picture are fine. Thanks for sharing your beauties!
I totally agree with you on 41 mags being a great caliber. I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of my 3" 657. I'm always on the lookout to buy another 3" but the prices have gone through the roof.
My Son-In-Law and I took the 3" to a range and both agreed it was very accurate for a 3"er and tons of fun to shoot. It had the factory combat grips and didn't have too much recoil for the larger .41 caliber.
Thanks again for sharing. Hope to see you post often and enjoy this marvelous forum.

That's a very nice collection and so are the others that have more than one.

Congratulations, nice haul

I have just one, and got it very recently too

I had a beautiful 6" 57 and sold it but kept my 58.
This 58, like all my other handguns is my favorite. ;)






I have about 850 hot rounds and a couple of these speed loaders.
 
Walked in to the handgun hunting mode in the late 80's. My fav was an 8&3/8 57. I honestly am not 100% sure how many are in the collection.
Am going to get them all out soon. The 8&3/8 is my favorite barrel length but have most barrel lengths in S&W. I also have 4 Rugers and two TC's as well as two more wildcats. To many? I would have to say no.
 
I'm a big fan of the .41 Mag. I got these two on the same day earlier this year, a boxed 57 and a 58 from the San Francisco Police Department.

The 58 here is a pretty early one somewhere around late '64, early '65. The square butt 3" is an oddball. I once read about twenty were released during the big run in '86, but who knows. The 657-4 on the top left is the most uncommon of all my .41s. This is the actual 3" Lew Horton featuring the full lug, satin finish and ugly factory grips. I had been chasing a regular stainless 3" 657 when this one fell in my lap, box and all.
