My only, lonely .41 Mag...
A 4" RB/RR/WO Model 57...
Someday it'll have a Model 58 to keep it company.

An old timer..
I entered LE in 1966.. Had to furnish my own weapon bought a S&W 38
Training consisted of firing 6 shots and off to work.
One evening I was called upon to dispatch a marauding racoon and it took 5 shots to kill him..
I kept thinkin'.. "what if that coon was shootin' back?"
Next day I was able to purchase the first .41 magnum in Wyoming.. a Model 58 for $84.00.. Dealer threw in a box of shells because I couldn't afford them.. Took me 6 months to pay the gun off.
I carried it as a duty weapon on the PD, Highway Patrol and back on the ranch for the next 35 years.
We were shot at and shot back and we are still here..
I have a lot of guns, I might part with all of them but one..
That one has a place of honor in my gun cabinet and it's future is secure..
It is by far the smoothest action pistol I own and I never touched the innards.
It has some holster wear and some dings on the home made grips. I thought about a reblue and fixin' it up, but that gun and me got those dings and scrapes together. We earned them and I think we will just go on wearing them scars together..

I have a 657. It's one of the Lew Horton guns. I bought it new about 13 years ago. It's one of my favorite revolvers. I shoot a 215gr lead bullet on top of 19gr. of H110.

Found a 4" 57 (no dash) for $350 and couldn't pass it up. The 240-gr Winchester Platinum Tip HPs are awsome punching paper. Don't think I'm gonna have a chance to try them on deer this year. The Silvertips grouped almost as well, but not quite. This has become my "travel gun." Had night sights put on it, so when out and about, in town, or in the woods, two-legged critters, or four, I'm ready.
