My blue steel N series Model 58. It is my grail gun, and I carry it on duty. I have a 99% pair of original PC magna's for it, but those stay in the safe.
This has been posted before, and it predates the time frame of this section in the forum, but I will post it again anyway. My duty load is a 210 grn GD at 1000 FPS.

sheriff,
that is a beautiful gun. I bet the 'pride of ownership' runs deep.
May I inquire as to what make the grip adapter is?

Model 58 duty sidearm for 13 years. $81.00 NIB with a box of shells. I bought it because I couldn't afford the $125.00 for a Combat Magnum. I destroyed the PC magnas back in 1966 to make a home made set of grips. Who knew??

Sheriff, you keep packin' that 58 and it's gonna get ugly like mine.
I 'spect you are right Iggy.....mine ain't for sale any more than yours is....honest wear on a handgun brings back memories, some of them good, some of them not.

I only have four
My #657 mountain gun, purchased about April 2009 because we have a mountain house...it was a logical choice.
#57 6" blue purchased fifteen to eighteen years ago, can't remember for sure. I can't remember why I bought it either. #57 & #58 below it.
#58 blue purchased August 2008, with box and non-numbered stocks. I have wanted one of these for several years. Originally intended to be a carry gun for my F-I-L when he went to the mountains, he passed away a few months later.
#57 4" nickel wearing Executioner stags purchased off a forum member. Traded into this one about fifteen years ago, I think.

Wanted a a 6 inch barreled .41 for 40 years and one came along. Whaddayagonnado?
Model 57 fired at the factory. The pawn shop had it listed as a Model 41. I walked out the door with it for $500.
Stay out of pawn shops if you wanna keep your money!
Mr. Iggy,
Very nice collection. $500.00 for that absolutely beautiful blued 57 is a true steal/felony. You should turn it over to me for $550.00 to clear your conscience
. My 6" no dash 57 looked like that in it's presentation case back in 76. It looks a bit rougher but is my sentimental favorite S&W. Will take new pics of my tribe and post next week. Just added a 58 to replace the one I sold like an idiot in 85!jubela#4

Here are my two 4 inch model 57's. They are both S serial numbered guns from about 1965.
I handload my ammo for these guns. A 210 grain SWC bullet and 7.5 grains of Unique. Very accurate.

An unusual .41 Mag: The frame is a 624 that shot patterns not groups. Looking for a way to salvage my purchase price, I found a 4" .41 Mag barrel and already owned a .41 cylinder. Put it all together and wonder of wonder it is a tack driver!

Iggy, that knife reminds me of one that Sam Fadala has pictured. Neat-o!
(I've tried to post pix of the .41 that I traded a while back, but they're too huge. Sorry.)

Here is a 25 shots from new 8 3/8" that I traded into awhile back:
Because I didn't want to shoot the long 57, I bought this long 657
I traded a Model 66 straight up for this 657 6" many years ago
I also have a 57-1 blue 6" shooter, but don't have a picture available. I have mostly shot hard cast lead bullets with Unique or Herco, but lately been using some 231. All of them shoot way better than I do!

Well, I'm envious. I've wanted a Model 57 6-inch since I was about 13 and that was in 1970. Just picked one up off the internet a couple of days ago and can't feature it here as it has not arrived yet. The dream Model 57 .41 of my youth was in nickel but this one is blue, with wooden box and original accessories. I was watching for nickel but the price for the blue was quite decent so couldn't let it go by.
A 40-year itch finally scratched. What about that?

4" & 6" 57-1's,
6" & 3" 657's,
Mallard Duck belonging to my young Golden.
Just got the 3" 657 a short while ago, am thinking of going w/wood Houges on it.
Nice story to it. Older gentleman who's been in our club forever usually swings by the range during his daily round about town. I'm a morning shooter and have had numerous conversations w/him. He's very knowledgable about firearms (and history, politics, geography....) One day I was shooting a 6.5" 624 and he mentioned he'd never gotten around to owning a .44spl.
I had another 624 identical to the one I was shooting. In the past he'd mentioned he had a 3" 657. I offered to trade him, he said he'd think about it. Several days later he showed up w/the 657 and said let's trade. I told him he hadn't seen my offering and it was at home. His response was I'd said it was in nice shape and he trusted me.
I ran home got the 624 and a box of shells and met him at the range. I wanted his gun but wasn't comfortable w/the way this deal was going, I felt an even trade wasn't fair to him. I told him this and he replied it was fair from his point of view. I persisted telling him a 3" 657 was more desireable than a 6.5" 624. Not from his point of view he told me. "It's OK Kevin" he said.
We did the deal.
Later I related my experience w/a longtime club member who knows the gentleman well. I was a bit concerned about being viewed as having taken advantage of the gentleman. This member told me prior to the deal the two of them had a conversation and the gentleman had told him he was making the trade because he could tell I really wanted the 657. I also found out he has an extensive firearms collection, double bbl rifles, classic shotguns, drillings shotgun/rifles and a ton of collectable handguns.
I believe he knew the dollars and cents of our deal, it was an act of kindness on his part. Perhaps because on occassion I stopped my shooting and sat down and chatted w/him? No charity on my part, I thoroughly enjoy our conversations.
