But, your picture shows a gun without ejector housing on the barrel? You, surely, must have more knowledge of mentioned gun, than I?

Can I join your club? It's an M28, not a 58 but it's been converted to .41mag using a 357PD cylinder and a 4" M58 barrel (cut down to 3").
Absolutely!
Come on in! Plus you get some style points for that entry

Don't know if I am a cool guy, but the Model 58 is the coolest revolver S&W ever made.......

well, you certainly have good taste in handguns.
i wanted to point out the difference in the size of the sfpd markings on my gun and the sfpd owned by mikeruns on page one of this thread. my serial # is s3142xx. is this a fake mark? i bought this gun at a great western gun show in los angeles back in the '70s and it is still the most accurate revolver i've ever shot.(8grns unique+210gr bullet)
i've already stretched the hand once and started to worry about wearing it out so i got this other one a couple weeks ago on gun broker that looked less worn. these things beg to be shot.
I just (re) joined. I had a model 58 years ago, cannot recall the dumb reason for parting with it but I just remedied that. I shoot a model 57 and an old model Blackhawk .41 Magnum and will shoot this as well.
Serial number S2579XX, the grips are numbered and it came with a worn but original box. My Heiser holster tops it off, I wonder if I lived where I could wear a coat if the PC grips would help it not print ?
Regards,
turnerriver

I found the blue one with the numbers matching grips still on it. Lucky to get the nickel one with cokes. Both are S prefix. Proud to own them.

Very Nice John!
You could always sew a patch on the lining of your jacket to protect it

Just received my Driskill stags today! Between the cell camera and shooting nickel, the quality of the pics are less than desirable, but you get the idea.
These stags really bring out the beauty of the 58 nickel!
Thanks, KD!

Spings make me think old Dades? You sometimes see them on Ebay?

Yes, Dade Screw Machine Prod.Miami,Florida. By using special length cases, grinding the bottom corner of the cylinder latch, bevel the back corner of the loader, and gouging the grip, i got two second reloads in the practical matches i attended. i actually won one match in a field of .45 autos using that sfpd, but had to switch to 1911 to stay competitive. the dades were straight push thus faster than hks but prone to spill when dropped. safariland came out with a push type, but they were much larger and these matches were c.c.
i don't live in huntington park,ca. anymore, so self defense is more about bears and mountain lions now. an 'N' frame revolver with magna handles and fixed sights suits me fine.

homuser6, IIRC, Dades were prone to spilling when dropped, HKSs weren't?
Need grips to use Dades, I've a set of Rosewood S&W Ns that are tastefully done for this Had a bunch of Dades till I moved now not many.

...yea, Dades would spill most of the beans from the wheel when dropped...
In 1977 when I was in the police academy one of the presentations I made was on speed loaders. I dropped a Dade and it spilled out half the rounds...I threw a HKS against the wall and it just laughed....
