I don't recall ever before seeing a Pinto with an 8-3/8" barrel. Nice score!

Consecutive or not, that's WAY out of line. About $500/EA out of line.

Wait...what? Dyslexia or not, a model 14 isn't the same as a 41. :rofl:

An older gentleman told me there were approximately 1,800 of the S-series model 58 made out of the total 20,000 production run, but I don't know how accurate that statement is.

There are quite a few of them, but because I already have so many projectiles on the shelf there hasn't been any need to pour any of them yet. I have Lyman (or Ideal) in 410026, 41027, (3) 41032's, 410610, and a couple of 410459's. A couple of RCBS in 41-210-SWC and 41-210-KT, and a NEI 6-cav...

Yeah, the 215gr SWC kills them dead, I just wasn't getting blood trails. Hopefully the JHC's will anchor them quicker. Maybe my never-fired, brand-new-in-box 1970 unconverted Blackhawk will earn me the position of Chairman of the Board, then. That might put me in the lead for points.... 🥴...

For deer I was using just For deer I had been using a 215gr LSWC with a little over 19gr of H-110, but I am switching to the 170gr Sierra JHC with 24.8gr of H-110.

Wrong, unless it's a used gun. There has been a federal law in effect since 2005 that requires sales of all new handguns to include a lock. See my previous reply.

Several years ago they had an internal lock that was only accessible by removing the grips. As I recall, their New Model Flattops were some of the ones that had it, but I'm pretty sure others did as well. IIRC they no longer do this.

While I have not personally seen one in person, I have indeed read about guys doing this.

Model 28's were more of a budget gun, and being an N frame it wasn't at all unusual for people to rechamber them in .41 or .44.

Yes sir, it's an "S" serial and it shipped in Jan/'66. It came with newer (non-diamond) Magnas installed, and while I didn't have any PC Magnas to put on it there were a couple pair of regular Diamond Magnas stashed away in my grip box. So no, while it's not quite fully original it looks much...

Finally got to bring home the model 58 a couple of days ago. Pretty stoked to finally have one of these to compliment my model 57's, 657 and Blackhawks.

That's nuts!
