Your least favorite S&W revolver

[Hawg Rider]

ANYTHING in 41 magnum, not because there is anything intrinsically wrong with the caliber or the guns chambered for it, but because of the folks that own and worship them.

Ouch! That's a bit harsh, and you don't even know me! The first ever S&W revolver that I purchased was a brand spankin' new blued 4" Model 57 when I got my first real job in 1977. I was looking for a "Dirty Harry" Model 29, but they were unobtainium at the time. So I picked up the 57, and really liked it. It was more powerful than a .357 Magnum, and had less felt recoil that either the .357 or .44 Magnum. I can't say that I worship them, but I do really like them. Just for discussion, here's a nickel 4" Model 57. To each their own, brother!

I have so much to say about that, but I'm going to leave it lay before I get dinged by a MOD and my blood pressure gets high enough to be unmeasurable.
