Added a 58

[ME94]

I have a weakness for fixed sight revolvers. I went into a one of my favorite local gun shops and low and behold there it was kinda rough but tight. $782 out the door. Definitely not the smartest move during the current ammo crisis, went to my reloading shop and bought the dies, powder, bullets and some once fired brass. Woohoo!

I am thinking 1973 as serial number is N1877xx

I like it. You just need a holster and stout belt.

I like the fact its not totally NIB. You have a gun that you will not be afraid to carry and shoot. I have an ANIB nickel and have never loaded it.

Also, you should turn yourself in to the nearest law enforcement agency for larceny. You stole that gun, at least from the prices of the very few I have ever seen.

Oh come, come now!...We can't abandon a brother member in his hour of need...He should immediately send that ticket-to-prison to me and avoid the stress of having to support his family on wages from the license plate factory...

No, no need to thank me now, but when the heat is off, and you're able to turn those components into shootable ammo, just forward them to me and it will help keep the poor frightened orphan properly fed......Ben

Very nice...you will enjoy that one... As to the price...I think it was very fair, the main reason being the grips are not original to the gun...

A 58 thread....

The 'unofficial' 58 Club


Everything .41 thread...

.41 Magnum / 41 Special Load Data Center


Starline has .41 Special in stock as of Friday when I last looked...

Didn't you read that the 41 mag is obsolete? Sell it to me.? Lol

I fired only six rounds of federal 210 gr JHP from my new s&w m58 and the love affair began.over a decade plus ago my dealer had a sale on all n frames for $699 nib. I grabbed what I could, my first ones were in nickel a m57 & m58. I think nickel is a plus like land there not making anymore. The m58 was the only n frame I ever shot then the cancer hit.

Yes as I was talking the owner of the shop he informed me that it came in with pachs glued on, I was pleasantly surprised when I got it home and there was no rust under the grips. I am ok with the wrong grips because in a few months it will be wearing Culina' s combats

Mine gets shot a LOT, and it wears Hogue Monogrip - a working gun needs a working handle!

Model 58 - A Great Buy!

Can't say I blame you! I bought my 2nd one, a '66 blue version, a few months ago and it's become one of my favorites to shoot and just proud to own! (Front & center, nickel N prefix, & 657-4 LH!)

Cheers to you, on a great move!

 

[Birdhunter6]

If you don't have a 58 you need one. Some just don't realize it.

Glad you have joined the 'enlightened'.

That should be great...

Was out in Idaho this last summer and ordered some Herrett's Detective stocks for one of my 58s...came in a few months ago...makes shooting DA much more controllable...

 

[SAFireman]

Great find at a steal of a price!

Once you get some rounds cobbled up, be sure to send the range report!

The stocks on the gun look better than anything made of rubber, but the proper wood stocks should be PC Magnas; the bottom edge is rounded over. The Magnas actually feel pretty good when shooting full loads; better than I thought they would.

These are numbered to my M58:

 

[Zoedog]

That's Gorgeous. I haven't even seen a 58. have a 657, and love it. I have made out like a bandit over the last year with people selling off older but well cared for 41 mag ammo, not to mention some sell offs when Gander mountain sadly folded.
What a great round. I camo up and wash my clothes (and myself) in scent free washer soap, and hunt deer close up hidden in cedar trees. very effective round for this.

 

[El_Phantasmo]

Great price, and a cool and interesting gun.

I added a 58 to my collection a few years ago, for no reason other than it seemed like an oddball model that shoots a fairly unknown cartridge, which immediately caught my interest!

Mine is in the 58 club thread, it's stamped SAPD.

Congrats!

 

[mrstang01]

What I want to know is who has primers in stock? Nice .41!

 

[gwpercle]

I only have one ... but I can shoot it well !

That's it in my avatar with Ahrend's Retro Combats in dark red Cocobolo.
Sweet shooter .

Congratulations on your score , model 58 and reloading gear ...
reloading and casting bullets helps the ammo supply ...big time ,
You gonna LIKE the model 58 ...she's a sweet heart !

Congrats ME94.
If not already, you should mosey over and become an official member of the unofficial M58 club...

I only have one 58 and it's all I need . It gets regular use . Primers ? I haven't seen any for sale for over a year and half . With ammo becoming more plentiful it would seem primers would be coming more available . I was in a small family owner gun store this past weekend and he had a pretty good selection of powder , but no primers . regards Paul
