41 Mag - Can you have too many?

[SFIDEC]

Recently found an estate seller with twelve 41 magnums and couldn't refuse purchasing the last four he was selling. I am very excited to add these to the herd.

#1 - All 4 crammed together in my small photo tent
#2 - 4" M57-SN# S318419 - Shipped 2/1970 per Mr. Jinks
#3 - 4" M58 - SN# N114576 - Added Stags
#4 - 6" M57 No Dash - SN# N833487
#5 - 6" M657 No Dash- SN# AVC0031 w/original box & tools

The S Prefix M57 (#2) came with relined presentation case and is my favorite of the four. Was surprised it shipped as late as 1970.
Thanks for letting me share my latest find.
Please share your 41 mags pictures or comments.
Thank you!

Your asking the wrong question to the biggest group of enablers that I have come to know and respect. My answer is no!

Looking for a 4".

Great collection BTW!

 

[WILDPIG]

That's a silly question! But. I'm glad you are trying hard to find out. Sweet haul!

Nice find!

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 Thanks for letting me share if I did this correctly!

Too many? I'm still trying to get my first one.

 

[Llance]

I only have two(2) and they are plenty. M57-S model and Marlin 1894 carbine. How many more do I need?

Need?

Nice haul OP, congrats!

All lovely, but the stags make that Model 58 look great.

"41 Mag - Can you have too many?" Hmmmm. You have 4, I have zero...(Deep Thought)...Yep, you CAN have too many.

Beautiful Revolvers though.

You struck the Mother Lode!! The blued 4" in front is my favorite, what a nice finish it has.
Here are my two, the M57 is a "S" prefix from 1968. It had the vent rib add-on when I got it (gun show find), and it's the only revolver I have that I don't have the original stocks for.
The M58 is also a "S" prefix, from 1967. It was ANIB when I bought it two years ago, having spent its entire life in two separate safes. I bought it from a retired LEO who inherited it from his ex-partner, who bought it new.

What a nice find! Glad you had the $ to be able to buy them. I have plenty of Magnums....44s and .357s, but only this one .41 Magnum. The first S&W I ever purchased (back in the late 1970s) was a brand new blued 4" Model 57 like the one you just picked up. I really like the caliber and the revolvers, so I don't know why I don't have more of them! Enjoy!

Just one old 58 here. N273306.

 

[Retired W4]

I do have a fondness for 58/57 Smiths.

 

[DR505]

I really like the 657 3" revolvers. I picked up 2 of them so I have a spare, just in case. I worked up a load with a 250 grain bullet that goes about 850 fps and is controllable to shoot (though the photo shows 210 gr JHP ammo in an HKS speed loader). Carries well in this Milt Sparks PMK. I don't use the S&W Combat stocks it came with as they do not fit my hand well.

No such thing as to many guns, as long as you can afford them. I don't have a .41 caliber revolver, but I am happy that you and others who want them can.

Instant 41 magnum collection!

I only have one but it's a BIG one: no dash 57 nickel, 8 3/8" bbl. I got it by "accident" as the seller said it was a 44 magnum but on arrival this is what he had. He knocked off $100 and of course I had to buy it...for $350.Yes..a few years ago..

Congrats on your four-gun acquisition! I've never had that kind of luck, so color me jealous!
I do have a nice pair of 6 inch 657's (one's scoped and Scary accurate!). Sorry, no photos at this time. I'm still searching for "plain" 57 or 58, but no luck so far.
My SIL recently steered me onto an OM Ruger Blackhawk in .41 mag. with 4-3/4" barrel and I'm really enjoying that one. I have another Blackhawk with a 6-1/2" barrel as well. That one also has a brass grip frame.
So to agree with the rest of the enablers - NO, you can't have too many .41 mags.
