** SOLD ** Smith & Wesson Model 57 Revolver in .41 Magnum Caliber **Mfg 1976 - No Dash - No Lock - Pinned Barrel**

Description:
Here we have a very nice Smith & Wesson Model 57 revolver chambered in .41 Magnum caliber. The Smith & Wesson Model 57 is a large frame, double-action revolver with a six round cylinder, chambered for the .41 Magnum cartridge, and designed and manufactured by the Smith & Wesson firearms company. The gun was designed as a weapon for law enforcement agencies. However, due to size and recoil it found more favor with civilian target shooters and hunters. In the early 1960s, Elmer Keith, Bill Jordan, and Skeeter Skelton, all noted firearms authorities and authors, lobbied Remington Arms and Smith & Wesson to introduce a new .41 caliber police cartridge with the objective of filling a perceived ballistic performance gap between the .357 and .44 Magnums, thus creating a chambering which they believed would be the ultimate for law enforcement purposes. In April 1964 Remington responded by introducing the .41 Magnum cartridge, and in concert, Smith & Wesson launched the Model 57 revolver chambered for the new ammunition. Elmer Keith originally proposed the name ".41 Police" for the new cartridge, but Remington instead chose .41 Magnum, hoping to capitalize on the notoriety and popularity of its earlier Magnum offerings. This particular example is in very good mechanical and physical condition having only light handling marks and very light turn rings on the cylinder. The action is smooth and locks up very tightly in the "fired" condition. The Smith logo grips are in excellent condition being free of cracks or chips. The 6" pinned barrel has a bright bore and strong rifling. Front sight is ramped with a red insert and the rear is adjustable. This fine Smith & Wesson would make a great addition to a collection and a good investment.
