i've always wanted a 41 mag. i thought my luck had run out, but when i recently found out ruger made a special run of 41's i ran out to order one, in spite of it being a ruger. imagine my pleasure when i found out smith & wesson still had a couple models available (smith may/may not be the best, but i sure like 'em a ton better than ruger).
anyway, my choices are the 657, 357 pd, and a model 57 w/ a tapered barrel. as of now, i am leaning pretty strongly towards the 357 pd, but i have not yet seen a m 57 w/ the tapered barrel (apparently smith has discontinued this one, but there are still a few in the distributor pipelines).
gun is to be used for... dunno... cuz i want it, i guess. not for ccw - probably when it gets used it will be used most for hunting, but mostly i just want one.
any input on the which of the 57 series is better? any hope of a pic of any of the 3 - especially the 57?
