Finally took them all out at the same time, Family photo! 3" 657, 4"657 Mountain gun, 5" 57 Trappers Custom, and 6" 657
I've got a 57 no-dash, customized by Austin Behlert that I got at auction, with a 2 1/2" magnaported barrel, ball detent in the crane, Behlert sights and action job, wide target trigger with stop, and a rounded butt. It originally came with Pachmeyer grips, which I've traded out for some far more comfortable target grips that I had.
As it was when I bought it.
Since the butt is rounded, but smooth, and it doesn't seem to match the standard N-frame round butt profile, I've always assumed that it was converted by Mr Behlert. Could anyone point me toward some grips that might fit a little better, or just confirm that it's really just a regular round-butt N-frame? I'd really like to get some quality wood stocks for it, but I've been hesitant to grab some Keith Brown round-butt N-frames for fear that they're not going to fit properly.
Here's the frame without the stocks.
Here's my other .41 magnum. Dan Wesson stainless model 41, 6" barrel. I'm hoping to take a deer with it this year.

Only my second, but couldn't be prouder! My first Performance Center gun, a 657-5 PC. Excuse the poor picture, but prefer to spend my money on guns rather than camera's!!!

So I bought this one a couple weeks ago. Wish I had bullets. Going to the gun show tomorrow. Any way nice S S/N.

BEAUTIFUL NICKEL. great gun...That would look really nice next to my 4 inch Blued No Dash......Bullets are at a premium right now if you dont reload....I think I paid almost 40 bucks a box for some Winchester Partitions when I first bought some...I have a fellow forum member who does some reloading for me now...So its really reasonable....I bet I shoot a 100 rounds a week from my 41's I just can not get enough of them!!

This is my Model 57 6" (no dash). I've owned this one for a very long time:
Lew Horton?
Have a 3 inch model 57-3. Target hammer has been made smaller and trigger is smooth. Appears grip has been reshaped to K-frame rd butt. Trying to find out if this is a Lew Horton special order gun. Also anyone know if model 58's were also done in nickel. Have one in nickel and never shot it. Have one 58 I bought in early 70's as well as a prized 58 I got at a show in late 80's/early 90's stamped SAPD. Paper work shows police trade-in from that department. Shoots great. Only other question would be a price range on 57-3 or nickel 58. Should add I'm thinking about selling
model 632(32 H&R mag)with 3 inch barrel unfired in box.
Anybody know where I can get information about what their
worth....hope this posts right.

Lew Horton Models were the stainless 657 versions. I have a 657 No Dash Lew Horton and a 657-4 both 3 inch guns. 1 was a run of 5000 1 was a run of 150. I would imagine if you have a 57-3 and it is a 3 inch it has to be a custom job as to my knowledge they only came with a 4 inch Barrel or longer. I could be wrong on that but Im pretty sure on it. If you ever sell the 57-3 Custom please PM me as they are right up my wheelhouse. One question on your 3 inch measurement. Are you measiring from the face of the cylinder or where the Barrel goes into Frame. I would bet your 57-3 is a 4 inch if you measure from the front of the cylinder (Where the Bullet Comes Out, not goes in)
My only 41 mag. Still looking for a nice blued model 58
I have one posted in here somewhere but am prepping for the next one

I can't remember if I posted this one (searched but not found on the thread). Model 58 adjustable, nickel, .41 Magnum, long barrel. What more could you want?
From Gunbroker, at my local gun shop. After this picture I used some Simichrome and it polished up very nicely.

I'm a few years late to this posting but I have an update. I just acquired what I believe is the last s-prefix model 58 s32999x. Came with presention pachmyrs and gold inlays on the lettering. No box no papers. I might be wrong but I just picked up my golden grail m58 for $775 and it's rare and it's mine. How do I post a pic???
