S&W Model 57 41 Magnum... Anyone have any feedback?

Know someone looking to sell his.. looks like it is in good condition.

Thoughts?

if you don't reload think long and hard about it. the 41 is an awesome caliber but they only run ammo seasonally and it's spendy if you can even find it. If you reload it's tough also. I had bullets on backorder for about 5 months this spring/summer. They came in and I have a lot sitting around but it sucks to wait forever for reloading components as well as loaded ammo. I'd be interested myself in that particular pistol but wanted to warn you the the caliber is a P I T A!!!!

Thanks, that is all I needed to know. I was wondering about that caliber.

It's a great caliber, but as Gutpile said, it's best left to the reloaders. I'll jump on the next 41mag that I find. I sold mine in a moment of stupidity.

It's already been said, but the .41 is a great caliber, but best suited reloaders.

I would love to find a 4" S&W though.

I have a Ruger single action 41, love it, yup ammo is hard to find so what you do is whenever you go anywhere you look for ammo and grab it.

I found quite a bit online, even during the first months after Obama and do also have a guy  that reloads for me.

Here's where I find ammo

I have been considering buying a 4 5/8" b-hawk in 41

Flat love mine! I do reload, cast my own boolets too. Brass is seasonal from Starline.
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I shoot it. Buy it, if not you'll wake up in cold sweats wandering what possessed you not to. Small children will point and laugh when you pass by.

Great caliber.  M57 is a classic (but not as much as M58!)

buy it IMHO
