Description
Smith & Wesson Model 57, .41 magnum cal. double action revolver. Serial #N324542, mfg. 1975. Excellent condition. Mighty fine N-Frame that was impossible to find back in the "Dirty Harry Era". This wa a "Holy Grail" back in its birth of 1975! But here it is from CA and in great condition. 8 3/8" barrel has an excellent bore. Wood grips have been swapped out for Pac checkered soft rubber grips with finger-grooves which soften it quite a bit under heavy Elmer Keith loads... Black rear adjustable sights. Ramp front sight has the orange insert. Wide checkered target hammer. Wide grooved trigger. Blue/black S&W bright finish is 98%+ and wonderful. Mechanics are like silk. A real freeze-frame from the mid 1970's when the N-Frame was in low production and demand THROUGH THE ROOF due to "Dirty Harry" and "Magnum Force". The gorgeous movie star in all of its glory! Gunrunner West item.
