Col. Beckwith favored the .41 Magnum revolver cartridge and had several S&W revolvers in his personal collection. I will post images of some of the others soon.

Link below to my Museum web site with a few of his other pistols.

I was wondering what Charlie Beckwith would be doing with a 22 semi auto target gun (Model 41) Isn't that a Model 57? It IS a nice gun and a piece of history on several levels.

Exactly what I was thinking, why a model 41?

41 magnum model 57 = yes.

Those look like custom skip-checkered, open-backstrap Herrett Trooper stocks. Mucho nice!

Unfortunately, I can't edit the title...second mistake on this forum in 24 hours listing wrong model...I'll claim Half-Heimers for an excuse. Ed

I met him at Benning years ago and he autographed a copy of his book for me. It got stolen later, but it was cool to meet him.
