Here comes a 3 coat wax job.
Where ya been, haven't sheen a post from you in a duck's age.
I love the .41 magnum and the 58 is a really cool gun. I had been looking for one of the SFPD guns for quite some time (no luck thus far). In any case I have a couple of nice ones, the blue '65 shooter is my favorite of the two. The hammer was bobbed before I got it, as was the action job. Very smooth! The nickel is an N prefix.

My biggest of many S&W regrets is selling my Model 58 years ago. Every once in a while I find myself considering offering to trade my Model 57 for one.
You're right, that is a beautiful handgun. You are the gun cleaning Godfather! Nobody does it better.

I bought a model 58 back in 1966 NIB with box of shells thrown in for $81.00. Back then a model 19 retailed for $125.00.
Bill and Elmer were extolling the virtues of the 41 magnum round and I heartily agree.
I carried it as my LEO sidearm for 13 years.
It met every need that came up and got me home from several serious social encounters.
There are two notches in the frame hidden by the stocks.
That gun will go to my son when I go toes up.
Lost, I've been lost for some time now.Life has tossed me a few curves in the last couple of years
