Model 58 price check

[SAFireman]

Run, don't walk.....$500 is a steal for almost any N frame shooter.....a good solid 58 is worth far more than he is asking.....if you don't buy it, PM me the guys # and I will

A LGS has one for over $1000.00. Grab it!

To clarify some[I hope] when the fellas say rounded or factory modified grips they mean PC or "plain clothes" grips NOT round butt or square butt.As an "historical note" [not really] about 1975 or 1976 all N frames were square butts however, I thought a round butt would be "the thing" so, while my friends at the LGS laughed and accused me of gun butchering I round butted a Mod.58.Actually, the back strap was rounded with the profile of a K frame RB. The front strap was left as made except the toe was rounded slightly due to the mainspring and screw.It was great and fit my hand like a glove. I traded it to a police investigator in Montgomery or B'ham Al. [I don't remember which]. I only traded because it was the only .41 Mag I had in a passel of .44 Mags. The cop said if he had to shoot some purp he wanted to really,"blow him away"or words to that effect. A year or so later he was on his way home from work when he stopped in a convenience store only to interrupt a robbery in progress.The purp with a shotgun went through a cooler door with two .41 Mag. ICBMs to the chest the other, demurely laid his pistol down and gave up! I read about it in the newspaper and sometime later I tried to trade the .41 back from him. His response was a scornful "NO WAY".That is my claim to fame of making the first RB N frame. Nick

I've got what I consider to be a pretty nice, S series, Model 58.

If someone were to offer me $500 for it, the answer wouldn't be no...but "HELL NO!"

The 58s are so cool. If only they were chambered in something other than the revolver equivalent of the 16 gauge shotgun

If I was to run into one like that for $500, I'd learn to love the caliber, though.

Aloha,

I have Paid MORE for a lot Worse

I'd buy it at that price and Gladly pay the shipping.

 

[murphydog]

im going to meet him tomorrow for it wish me luck!

Inquiring minds want to know...and see the photos

The right side has pitting and the grips are wrong !

I would still give $500 for it and stuff it in an El Paso Threepersons holster!

I just paid $625 for high end shooter with non-original grips so $500 seems pretty good.

not perfect but.....a good buy for a most excellent caliber

If you tried one, you might learn to love the 16, too!
