Photos of my 3.5" custom 520 check a post of Charlie Sherrill 1/16/11
I got the 520 from him.

There are at least two 520s in the state of Texas…..here is my 520 with my 58 above it.

Make that three, maybe four...The one I traded away is still within the state lines the last I heard, and my other one is still in my possession with box and goodies...I believe your two pictured are the only S&W N-frames to be shipped with PC Magnas...I've heard several times that the 520's often were shipped with numbered Magnas not matching the frame...The one I have left is like that, and I believe them to be original......Ben

I have a first year model 58 and a 520 in TX as well. Both with PC magnas, the diamond ones on the 58 numbered to it. The PC magnas on the 520 do not match, numbers off by about 10 if I recall correctly.

About the same on mine, and others I know about...Why, I don't know?......Ben

I was at my local FFL dealer, picking up a transfer, (another thread on it) when one of the guys behind the counter mentioned he a S&W that he was trying to sell. I immediately inquired and the next day, I came home with this Model 520. No box, and it's a shooter, just a couple of minor handling marks, and what I think was a very fair price. Yea me!

Good on you, a rare find indeed!

I've had this NIB example for years.

For years I tried to talk myself into shooting it, but I never could. Last year I went on a quest for a shooter 520, but I never expected it to come to anything. To my great surprise, a forum member offered one to me at a price I was very pleased to pay. This one goes to the range often and has become one of my favorite revolvers and is my favorite .357 Magnum. Honestly, I regret never shooting my first one, but now it gets to stay in new condition.

Here's the shooter 520.

Glad you're still enjoying the shooter!

It has become one of my favorites to take to the range.

Just a theory.
Maybe the state was putting on Goodyear's before issuing to the Troopers?
Then they changed direction, and had all that wood and just put whatever they had together, not thinking about matching anything up?

I don't think NYSP ever accepted shipment of the M520s.

There has been one at a couple of local shows near here. Near new, box and stuff included and I think the asking was around $1800.

That's the information I have also...Then S&W dumped them off on distributors and dealers thinking there would be no demand for an N-frame fixed sight gun again...

Unfortunately I got plumb slick-talked out of my second NIB example this past weekend...Now I have to go find another one...Pity me......Ben
