The 'unofficial' 58 Club

If you are looking for a holster try the DeSantis Speed Scabbard...conceals nicely and smooth draw...

Look around and you can find them for about $45.00.

Have I missed something.... Inquired about a 70s vintage NIB nickel 58 that has square bottom standard Magna grips...not PCs... The Shop owner says that the grips are serial numbered to the gun and that more 58s came with square bottom Magnas than PCs...

RETDOE, thanks for your service. Enjoy retirement.

Sure some nice 58s shown lately, keep coming back for more looks. Always pleases the eye.
 
I have looked at those Accurate molds they sure look good. What material did you have yours made of, I'd love one in say 240grs with a gas check for the .41.
Thanks.
My question would be why? I've shot more than my share of bullets in .41 at higher velocities than this without any leading.

I am not an expert, but one will be along shortly. I have seen a lot of 58s with standard Magnas. None of them came that way.

I take no offense if someone corrects me. To my knowledge all M58s came with Modified (also known as PC) Magnas.

I have never seen one either... After the second email I sent him I really doubt the grips are numbered to the gun. There is a "NIB" blue one also for sale but it is a "S" prefix with non-diamond Magna grips...when I asked that Seller he checked and no the grips were not numbered to the gun...

Different guns are different & I've scraped my share of leading out of different guns usually .357s. A gas check will eliminate leading 99% of the time & to me that's worth it.
 
Maybe, you should start casting and learn about bullet allow? IMHO, this is just one of the many reasons bullets deposit lead in the bore.

More 58 pics

Here is a couple of pics of a original Tyler T- Grip I picked up for my 58. Nice tight fit and sure makes the grip hold feel better, guess we'll find out how it holds up when I get to shoot it. I'll send my pics and range report as soon as it happens!

Here's a couple of pics of of the new Tyler T grip next to a original. Quick ship just a little over a week. Fits well and looks good...Sorry about the lighting.

Can't believe those guys are still doing the mail in a check or money order thing. I'll try a few if they ever join the 21st century.

I opted for a 57-1 the other day instead of a 58. 57 is in much better condition but the 58 has character being a service revolver. The one that is available near me is a Louisiana department of corrections version.

Boy I'd grab the ex police 58 if I could.
 
Nice looking gun and department marked...how much did they want for it?

The seller is asking 700 and is firm on his price. I picked the 57-1 for the same price and only had to travel 15 minutes. The 58 is 2 hours away from me. But I sure was wanting it.
