Hello Dave....yes it's me Bob who got you into this "mess"...so now we here at the Forums have the newest member to The Cult of the .41....
The .41 with hotter loads will bite a little more with the Service size stocks on it over Targets but since you will really enjoy the gun with 8.0 grains of Unique at 950 fps both grips will work well.
Welcome aboard.....

Hi to all & hoptoad! ! This too is my first day on the
forum and I am also looking at a few. 41 mags. I' ve
been looking now for 6 months to find a nice one.
Gorgeous pics everyone. Two guestions-
1) do they come in ss or just nickel
2) One has a 5.5" barrel which either is a
special order or an original 6.5 and cut down?
I' ll get pics of front site & barrel & s.n.#.
Thanks to all for your fellowship.

If you are looking for something to help tame the hot loads and really looks good, fellow forum member "kurac" makes
custom N and K frame stocks that fit the gun and my hand
better than any stocks I've tried. He's a real craftsman and a good guy to deal with and his stocks are very reasonable.
Here is a 6 inch 57 with a set of his "coke" style smooth target stocks in walnut.
Hope this helps.

I greatly enjoy these pics. All kind of good ideas here for me and your collections are very fine. What a pleasure.
Yes, I have followed SuperMan here. He is my enabler. He found out I had a hankering for a Super and that was it. It all started with a 38 Super. Now I have the 41 affliction. Bad.
Let the good times roll!

..welcome aboard....
S&W .41 Magnums "came" in both carbon steel (blue and nickel) and stainless and was called the 657. They came in 4, 6 and 8 3/8" barrels as well as some full underlug Classics and Hunters with 6.5" and 7.5" barrels as well as two limited runs of 3" guns, one standard and one full underlug. Smith reintroduced the blue and nickel 57s in their Classic series a few years ago and they are around. There was also two runs of Mountain Guns, one blue and one stainless that bring big money...
Also remember that one measures a S&W barrel from the muzzle to the forcing cone that is inside the frame window not the shoulder of the frame.
Hopefully U 2 can be a Cult member soon....
Bob
Why not throw in the 5-incher too!!

Now Doc STOP THAT....! You know that is the prettiest most balanced 57 ever made.... Smith should have made a 1000 of them instead of just one.
As to the question on 7.5" guns...there is only one listed and it was a stainless...a Classic Product #163946 made from 2002-2005. I see them fairly often over on GunBroker... There were no blue 7.5" 57s...just stainless.

Bob...No 7 1/2-inch Model 57s, but there is at least one Model 29-2 with a 7 1/2-inch barrel and Class C+ engraving that was shipped in 1966.

DOC44, that's just rude.
Here's my 4" Model 57. A solid working gun, I love showing it off.
