Ordered a early Christmas present today, and cant wait until it arrives. After much research of the 41 mag I needed to add one to my collection. Searching online for a 41 mag revolvers, I saw this S&W was listed on buds and had to get it www.budsgunshop.com/mobile/product/57825/redirect |

Think Kyle will really enjoy this one too. He loads GT Bullets often and will be a great choice on this one too.
Glad to see him venture into the world of Classic DA Revolvers.
I'll be eagerly waiting on a range report...

Thank you..Looking at the 225 grain GT bullets for the M57. I have a 410 GNR on a redhawk which is one of my favorite revolvers, but this will be my very first 41 magnum and my third S&W

Those are fine revolvers and an excellent choice in caliber. Congrats on your "present".

.410...Oooooo.... The gun in my Avitar is a 5-shot Reeder custom .41/.41 GNR. Gary said no problem punching it out to .410 since it is a 5-shot not a 6....
How long is your barrel and what are using for loads...
Thanks...Bob

Very accurate but I don't shoot it or reload for it as much as I'd like |

Great choice, the model 57 is about as good as it gets. Many great bullets to choose from along with many different powders, you will love it.

The 41 is a better cartridge for the N-frame then the 44... and accurate

If it shoots anything like my 586 Classic you are going to be extremely happy. I know everyone's new revolver is a "tac driver" but these things are pretty unbelievable in the accuracy department. Fit and finish on mine is superb. I've actually been eyeballing a M57 at my lgs... so many guns so little cash.

I picked up the Smith this morning...004 cylinder gap, and lock up is like a bank vault the same as my 500 S&W which is perfect. Fit and finish is incredible. Glad I got it, plan to shoot it as much as I can
A true classic, time to reload

Pictures of this revolver are great. Throats of about .411" look perfect too. Looks like Kyle has added another beauty and likely a shooter.
