Next load you should try is 17.5gr of 2400 under a 215gr Hard cast Keith LSWC.This load will open your eyes to the true power of the .41 mag

I'm using 17.5 grains of 2400 under a home cast 225 grain Keith SWC. That is out of my 657 Classic Hunter and my Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter. I haven't shot it from my M58 yet. It's a very nice load.

After pining for one for over 40 years, I just acquired this Model 58 on Friday! Per its serial number (N178669), I believe it was manufactured in 1973.
XTrooper,
Very nice M58! Welcome to the club!

Rick

...have not seen a 58 for sale in a gun shop anywhere in a long time... I did happen to see several now up for sale on GunBroker for $0.01 starting bids...really nice guns and I think two of them are 60s vintage S-prefix guns...
I'm just staying with my two for now...and did just get a couple of IWB holsters that I'll try and post pics of...

Got home yesterday and the nylon IWB holster was in. Company name is Skyball Mountain Holster Company and sell over on ebay...
Seems like a quality made in the USA product. Has a heavy duty belt clip that can be used to wear the holster IS or OS the waistband. There is also a Velcroed on thumbsnap for OTW use but I removed it as it isn't needed for ITB carry.
Tried it on last night with a Mountain Gun and the holster held the gun at just the right height. I carry most of my guns concealed behind the left hip butt forward... Not the fastest position but very comfortable, secure and with the butt forward doesn't print near as much as a conventional holster.
For $18.00 delivered I think it was a bargain...going to order a few more...
Will try and post some pics of the holster with the custom 58...

Hi all,
Here is my submission to the unofficial 58 club.
Just picked this one up at a local gun show this weekend.
Traded a plastic XD9 and $300 for it. Put it in a thread of its own and had a forum member say it needed to be added over here.
It is in pretty decent shape with original box and numbers matching stocks.
Enough rambling ...... here's a few pictures.

Twig,
Any day that you can trade plastic for steel is a good day. Welcome to the club!
I just joined the forum and the 58 club a short time ago. The 58 was picked up local from a classified. First pic is how I received the gun the second is with a flawless set of PC's acquired from the forum ads, thanks to Beagleye. I like guns that are off the beaten path, unique, and unorthodox. The 58 fit the bill perfectly.

Ok, all this talk about the M58s that you all have forced me to pull out my sales receipts.
I had one back in March of '66. Serial # S259XXX.
They were relatively new at the time and ammo was difficult to find. The Rem. 210 gr. LSWC was easier to get, also easier on the shooter than the 210 gr. JSP.
I sold it off a couple of years later. I've always thought about another one but haven't done anything more than think about it.
I think my Brother up in NH still has one.

JimC,
My M58 purchase is much more recent than that. I have had .41 Mags for a while though. I love the caliber. Since purchasing my M58, I just really enjoy it. It handles very well for me and shoots like a dream. There is just something about the way it looks too....
