S&W Model 58: Value?

[Brian Williams]

Ammo pricing is always a problem with the 41, it has mostly been a reloaders cartridge and then it really shines.

PC stands for plain clothes in the S&W grip/stock vernacular.

I reload for my 41mag and it's the only way I can afford to shoot it.

If you don't reload, stay from a 41 mag. They are habit forming and a great gun. But you can't find ammo for it and if you do it's super expensize.

Boxes of Winchester 240gr are impossibile to find and 175gr silvertips are a special order at most gunshops.

The S&W 41 mag has to be best revolvers ever made but it's a revolver only reloaders can afford to shoot.

Well, I got the gun.

Real good looking gun. I've also got the original owner's manual. The serial number is of the "S" prefix, which for some reason is sought after (Anyone know why?)

S serial numbers are the earlier model and considered to be made better by better craftsmen.

Very interesting. Thanks.
