How about a 41 Magnum Show and Tell?

S-prefix model 58
S32999x
No box no papers no problem
I've wanted one for like 15 years them I come across what I believe is the last s-prefix 58 for like $775

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.

My grail gun also. I should of bought one when S&W couldn't even sell them cheap.

I've owned several Model 57's over the decades that have all come and gone. The only .41 Magnum I currently own is this N prefix example that was manufactured in 1973 and shipped from the factory to the Spikeblock Emergency Equipment Co., Victoria, British Columbia on May 28, 1975.

What kind of wood is the Ahrends grips?
 
I've been wanting a .41 Mag since I shot my Boss' S&W back in the early '80's (actually his Wife's gun, he had a .44 Mag). He had me shoot it at a cross tie gate post. Almost no recoil and I wasn't too impressed with the round until I went to the back of the cross tie and saw the exit "wound"......WOW!

I've been trying to find a DE .41 Mag but that's looking like a no go. I'm not really a revolver kinda gut although I do have a model 66 stainless I bought new back in the early '80's. Back then, it was still a .357 Magnum but from what I read, it's now more of a .38 (not so) special. I haven't ran alot of rounds through the 66 and depending on who is writing, you can run .357 mag in it or you can't......

Either way, I'll never get rid of it although I do need to get it re-bead blasted. I've cleaned it so much it now looks polished, LOL!

Seeing all of these .41's has given me a strong "itch" for another revolver.

These are my Model 57-1's. The big one carries a Tasco illuminated 1X scope in a Burris mount. It has the 8-3/8" barrel and I bought that one used around 1989. The smaller one has a 6" barrel and I got that one (also used) around 1990. I bought the big one as a way to open up a new season for myself for hunting deer. I can assure everyone that the .41 Magnum loaded with Remington's 210 Soft Point WILL take deer right off their feet. I've never had to shoot them more than once with it, even at a measured range of 92 yards.

Here is my Classic Hunter M657-3.

I like the -3's because they have endurance improvements, forged parts, and are drilled and tapped for scope rings.

I haven't been able to find anything new or different in S&W .41s, or when I do, it's not affordable......scratch that, I did find a 357PD a while back plus traded a Mod 28 for another 58. Sorry no photos yet.

Here are few Rugers though....

57s & lawerance leather unbeatable combo.

I collect & use model 57s & Lawrence leather also. I have a nice collecton of George Lawerance Holsters & leather. Got em for S&W, Colt, and TC Contender. I think the .41 mag is a great caliber. Don't many, only have four, but love em all.
Here's my M 57 & an old model
Ruger Blackhawk, both with
Lawrence leather.
