I did check and yes it is a 6” barrel, have had this gun a longtime and never realized it, wonder why they did that.

That's right, I inadvertently called mine a 6.5 even though I knew it was 6.

I looked on a couple gun auction sites for model 57's. As Doc Holiday said in "Tombstone"... "Cover your ears darlin"! Holy moly!
And for all my checking, I did not find one example of my Custom Shop 57 Stainless Hunter listed anywhere. Wonder what THAT goes for!?

$2K+ I have one of these... www.gunbroker.com/item/903550818Easy to put a scope on as it is factory D&T. There is also a 7.5" version... The PC 657 is a nice collector piece but personally I don't like the way the barrel snugs up to the frame...just doesn't look "right"... And the Mag-Na-Port will put soot all over the front lens of a barrel mounted scope... Bob

I’ve owned several different S&W 41 Mags. Currently just have one, a 657-3 6”. Not a PC gun but without question the best I’ve had.

Now I feel bad I bought mine so cheap. Like I took advantage of someone.

Now I feel bad I bought mine so cheap. Like I took advantage of someone. Prices have ballooned up a lot this past year or so, it's just the way of the market. If you get to feeling too guilty, you can pass the gun over here to Oregon for a spell... LOL.

If it werent so expensive to ship I wouldnt mind loaning her out.
Just playing around at the ranch, my son and I took turns shooting at a crow in an open field 500 yards away. Every shot, he would just hop over a little and look back. On my third attempt I landed one at his feet, splattering him with water and he flew off. I thought that was pretty good for a handgun at 500 yards just fooling around.

My fat fingers hit the wrong Bob. Hope my CPA likes guns. Maybe I will tell him I am using it as my one gun a year ranch tax deduction.
