My M58 I picked it up at a local Pawn shop for 525.00. I just found out it was a N.C. HWY Patrol gun in 1966 only 120 shipped. Since I have found a case for her for 60.00 bucks.

If the city had gotten them in the condition that yours is in, we would probably still see some of the seasoned (ranking) officers carrying those.....It looks great! If it should ever feel homesick, just let me know 
Thanks for the photos, I know there are more SAPD guns out there, but they all seem to have left the city

My transitional Model 57 shooter, it has the recessed cylinders but no pinned barrel. The grips are going to be replaced by a set of Ahrends, and it likes my old handloads at 25 yards. This is soon to be my all around carry gun when I work up some .41 Special handloads.

Here is my meager offering to this thread, might I say... some of you gents have some truly amazing examples. A Model 57-1, I picked this up around new years in a trade, this gun and some bulk 9mm target ammunition for a Sig P226R. It had some funky finger groove grips that ididn't much care for, so i added some eagle classic's to it. I hope to one day aquire some circa 1985 target grips to throw on. Hope you guys enjoy.

Two S-prefix Model 57's - a six inch, and a 4" - both have very smooth DA triggers - my favorite N frames ! The six inch is currently wearing Herrett Jordan Troopers ...... The four inch has factory combats (I know, not correct, but very comfy) I refinished them with oil - much more to my liking than the factory lacquer. Both of these are shooters, and were puchased without the correct cokes ..........

How about a Hamilton Bowen customised to resemble a H.D. with a set of Don Collin Ivories.

Wow, you did fantastic. A modern auto for a classic revolver, I'd make that kind of trade any day of the week! Great looking, and I'll bet great shooting revolver!

I'll play!
I had a Taurus Model 415, a 2-1/2" ported snubnose .41 magnum but traded it away. I still had several boxes of ammo - couldn't see it go to waste. I posted this on the revolver thread but what the heck...
Do I even have to post the model #? The s/n is N543xx; any ideas about when it was made?

Well I finally went and got myself a Desert Eagle. I'm sorry I waited so long to get one, what a blast to shoot!
Zeroing in the scope at 50 meters. Some vertical stringing most likely do to inconsistent scope/eye alignment......
...and after snapping this picture I noticed the scope mount moved about .375 inch down the barrel from where it started.

I heard it on good authority that the recoil of the Night Guard is "tolerable", so when I came across a NIB Model 357 for $649, I snatched it up.
Cast 220gr SWC at ~1000fps are very comfortable shooting even with the Ahrends grips. 210gr JSP at ~1325fps are tolerable waaaaay
more so than a 158gr JHP 357 Magnum round in a M&P 340.
The Night Guard in my opinion is an excellent N frame carry package.
Grips are by Ahrends and leather is by Simply Rugged.

Speaking as someone that did not own a .41 mag a year ago.
They definately grow on you. I picked up the 657-2 cheap about four months ago and really like the round. I picked up the S series like new gun a couple of weeks later. And I just picked up the S series model 58 this last saturday at the Hillsville VA gunshow. This will be my new carry piece for a while.

Here's mine, its not beautiful but it's not supposed to be, it's a working gun. I bought it because in the past thirty years, I've never had a four-inch Model 57. Simple as that. I've been hand loading the .41 Magnum for about thirty years as well. From kitty cat to Lion, I think I've got it down.

Here's my first S&W N Frame Revolvers. I wanted a 41 ever since I hear the music where the devil pokes him with his pitchfork and he shoots the devil with his 41. That music has me all over it for sure. I purchased a new S&W M58 & M57 both in nickel. I'm hooked on the nickel finish figuring someday it will be discontinued and sought after. I cherish my S&W in nickel. I thank God I live in a free country were we can own these awesome guns and respect and pray for those who gave it all so we can be still free. I love this country.

M57 "Classic" , now has Hogues on it. Wood grips + .41 Mag= No Go
Wouldn't mind a 657 of some sort, and Ruger needs to get in gear and make a stainless .41 Blackhawk, in 5.5" of course.[/QUOTE]
Ruger made a 5 1/2 in .41 I own a SBH SS 5 1/2 in Bisley from 2003. Acusport had them done as a special run at least 3 times. I bought mine about 3 years ago and love it. It came to me with a tune up and 2 1/2 lb trigger. I like the 41 so much I now have a model 57 and a Tracker 4 in. SS

Good heavens, don't let anyone get a .41M with a 3" (or less) barrel! Horrors! Gadzooks! All that wasted, unburned powder and no accuracy!
I really dig the poster with the paper plate targets, my kind of shooter. Most of my guns are MOPP (minute-of-paper-plate), but I usually shoot the smaller pie plates (MOPPP?). Cool guns, way cooler people!

Thank you friend!
Well, it came to me just as you see it. I purchased it from a gunshop up in Alaska. They had it listed in the ad as a parkerized finish. Whoever applied the finish did an excellant job.

I came a cross a standard gray parkerized 58 on AuctionArms that no one wanted...when a nice blue one was selling for $800+- this sold for $430 delivered...turned out to be a first year of production 1964... But I really like your black finish more...great find...

Welcome to the forum. The 657 went into production in 1986 and the 4" 657 was discontinued in 1988. I'd say $950 is on the high side of the scale.....but I have seen like new and N.I.B. one go for over $1400 on Gun Broker. You didn't say what condition it is in, but if it is 98% with original box, papers and tools I'd say make and offer on it and if they won't move on the price you'll still be doing okay at the $950.

Model 57-1 4" nickel and Model 57 6".
41 mag is my favorite revolver caliber.
Also have a Marlin 1894 in 41mag and a Thompson Center Contender rifle barrel to go with my 57s.

Not sure how many were made as S&W only marketed the 4" 657 for two years but one sees far more 3" Combat Specials than the Plain Jane 4" guns.. Last one I saw on GunBroker was in excellent condition and sold for for just over $1000.00. One a few months ago was in the $1200 range. Also excellent, no box. So $950 while no bargain is a very reasonable price for a seldom seen gun... No brainer...sell the XDM..it can always be replaced...not so the 657. Also the price on these keep going up...
Just put some new grips on mine...I've had this one for about 10 years and is a great shooter...

How long is your .41 TC barrel... I bought one of the Super 16s that were offered by the TC Collector's Association... Great shooter...
