Wasn't looking and found a M57

[armybass]

I went in to see my local pusher last Friday to pick up my new Henry Rifle and headed to the used revolver counter as I waited for the fella to find my Henry and would you believe there was a beautiful Smith M57 .41 Magnum in the case next to a gorgeous SS Python and SS Anaconda. Anywho, it is now on layaway and I am now trying to find a source for .41Mag ammo. I was not really looking for a M57 but it was such a beautiful gun. I am stoked that I found one and can't wait to pick it up.

What length barrel? P&R or no? Blue or nickel? Box, docs, and tools or no?

You see, you left out too much info.

Nice work, armybass.

Can I ask which local pusher? I'm in Richmond and might be interested in the Colts.

 

[armybass]

Sorry, it is a 1980 P&R, 6" Blued M57. I would say 90%?


It is at Dance's Sporting Goods in Colonial Heights. I have found some real treasures there.

congrats on the 41 mag.from dances!i just looked at the pair of colts there yesterday...incorrect grips on the anaconda but both are nice

they just got in a load of primers so i had to pounce on them!
my son scored a new 637 chiefs special while we were there looking...i had to resign myself to the primers and a soft case for my s&w AR-15....i did manage to put a deposit on the new model 632...whenever they can get them in!

The new S&W Mod 57 (Classic Series) shoots great. Had the chance to handle and fire them a couple days ago. Has the #@%^&$#@ lock, but that's the only detriment. Also, the J Frame 632 does benefit from the "porting". The 327 Federal is one potent cartridge, working pressure somewhere around 45,000.

Minor thread hijack, kenny did they have the 632 to handle? I often passed up on the 57, and 58's, are they on the n frame? I have a 629 and love it. Second question is a 41 mag the same case length as a 44 mag?

hi peyton...no...the 632 was not in..and i dont know when it will arrive...the 632 will be on the J frame...i have a 657 and model 29...they both shoot great and are easy to reload for...if you haven't purchased a 41 mag......i would....they are great shooters!the 41 mag.is an N frame

Yes and yes.
