Model 657 - Since then I have a Model 57 and 58. There is just something about the .41 Mag - love 'em.

Very nice piece! I love mine -

I think I just might find a factory 3rd gen cylinder to replace the original. From what I can determine, the 3rd gen SA prefix S/n revolvers are interchangeable. There are several on line that can be had from $100 - $200 depending on condition. Probably cost close to that to get the plating...

Well, acetone nor brake cleaner did the trick. I am thinking it might be done by some electrical process. It isn't engraved. When you drag your thumb nail across the lettering, you can feel the slight elevations of the characters. The work was done by Baron Technology. I guess I'll need to...

Very good and thank you for re-affirming....

I recently picked up a 2010 Colt SAA. It is a NRA special issue (like you might see it the first few pages of American Rifleman magazine), not a Colt factory commemorative so the gold embellishment seems pressed or rolled on. The only places it occurs is around the cylinder and along the back...

:D Thats great! I am not looking to shoot +P just wanted to make sure there was no need to put the higher pressure rounds through the revolver. I am thinking that factory loads <800 fps should qualify as a safe and effective application. I'll keep and enjoy it for what it is.

That is why we home school our 10yrd (I am the teacher). The kid knows more about US history than most high school kids. At 10yrs, he can tell you about the Crusades, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, the fall of the Alamo, Normandy, etc. Oh, and starting his 3rd year of Latin this fall.

Just removed the stocks and the matching S/n is stamped on the right one. Under magnification, the medallions appear to be nickel. I greatly appreciate that bit of info. Many thanks.

Oh yes one more thing. I'd like to shoot and enjoy this great handgun and would really appreciate any suggestions on recommended ammo. I am sure I need to use rounds that are not too hot and are not designated +P. Thank you,

It was a Cabelas store in the mid-west and the sales guy was a real polite fellow. He went to great lengths to remark how clean, rust free, tight lock up, excellent blue, very little holster wear, etc. the revolver exhibited. Yep, he sold me...:)

I love 41 Mag threads!. I have been a fan of the cartridge for a very long time. Here are some of my closest friends... I have noticed as well the cartridge gaining more popularity and am glad to see it...
