The 'unofficial' 58 Club

I had my 58 out this last weekend (Easter wknd). We rent a little cabin out in the country and he has a shooting range that comes along with renting the cabin . It had been awhile since I shot it . Took a few rounds to get good groups again . It is very accurate when I do my part . With a 220 gr swc (HG258 , Keith design) and 8.5grs of WSF I find it's one of my 2 favorite loads . Same bullet using 11.0 grs of HS6 and full magnum primer this time for a little more power is my 2nd load . Regards, Paul
 
Had my Model 58 at the range yesterday. Some 215 grain SWC at about 1000 fps went down range. I was having so much more fun than the folks shooting 9mm and .22LR around me!
 
I purchased the m57 & m58 because I couldn't find the Redhawk in 41 mag and in 357 mag. I gave up trying to find them, but I did find the m27 & m28.. But of course soon after the Redhawk in 357mag & 41 mag show up. No I'm not selling my new m58 & m57.

i just bought a Model 58. I havent picked it up yet. A little water leak problem has squashed that for today. Its my first 41 magnum.

These m58 in 41 mag are sweet shooters. TheN frame handles the caliber well.

The first trip to the range with the m58/41mag the range was so quiet with the 9mm's, so quiet a mouse wouldn't be bothered. I had the misses shooting her Taurus 94 in 22lr. I took out the m58 and after firing six rounds it was all eyes on me. I woke up them all. I was shooting new federal 210gr just ammo.

here is my model 58 which i just picked up a few days ago. It came with rubber Hogue grips. Since it has a target trigger and a target hammer, I put target grips on it. Whoever had it before me took good care of it. Except for some holster wear at the muzzle and the turn line it is in very good shape. The lighting in the photo doesnt do it justice.

Welcome Joe!

That is a nice one! How does she shoot?
 
My Model 58

Here are pics of my Model 58. It came with 2 sets of stocks, it being Texas the usual working stocks and the Sunday Go To Meetin/BBQ stocks. Anyone have any idea who made the bone stocks? There is no markings or anything on the inside of them. The washers are not metal but round wood.

The Magna's are I guess not original to the gun either as the right one is numbered 557956 (too bad they don't match my 520). This 58 is S#N114446 so 1973 or so timeframe.

Thanks,
Earl

OK, I recently got my 58 from my local gun pusher emporium. It had been electroless nickel plated over what looked like sand. The surfaces looked like it had acne. I had it stripped and redone in hard chrome, since it is intended to be a working revolver. I have a left handed holster mounted under the steering column of my truck, and when I have to go into some of the less civilized areas of Dallas, the 58 accompanies me.

It is fun to go to the local range (indoors) to practice. With the first shot, a deathly silence descends over the lanes, and the dust slowly drifts down from the ceiling. With the second shot, if I am in the public lanes, the person next to me quickly packs up and leaves. I swear the muzzle blast is worse than my wife's model 29, and it also lets everyone know it is out for the evening.
 
Picked up a Model 58 with no dash and my limited research says its around a 1971 model.

Ser. number on bottom of the handgrip frame is N54887 .

Is that about a 1971 model?

Thanks
 
Being a ruger Redhawk 44 mag guy all my gun life. Being new to the s&w n frames and shot my new m58 I have to say I'm impressed at what a well balanced revolver it is. I ask myself why did I wait so long to buy s&w revolvers.
 
I took out a few S&W's today including the M58 pictured above. It sure is a nice, sweet shooter. I really liked it. I like it better than my 6" M57 for sure. Earl

I just didn't feel fulfilled, never owning a .41 mag, until I got one of these 58 beauties in my favorite finish! Now, for some range time. I feel much better, already!:D

I am glad that we could help ;)

Is the 58 old enough to off of, or not required to be on the 'we say that it is a safe handgun' roster there in Cali?
