I purchased a model 57 blue steel revolver about 1980, six inch barrell,
and liked it’s balance and ease of firing, not a lot of bounce for a large
caliber revolver. Recently I bought a 4 inch model 57 with nickel finish
and it is also a great revolver but I don’t like it as well as the six inch
version. It could be that I got used to the weight and balance of the
longer barrell. I like them both but the six inch feels better. I would like
one with a five inch barrell, which I think would be perfect for a large
caliber revolver.
I just picked up a Mod 57 with no dash, Mfg. in 1981. The cylinder is recessed but the barrel is not pinned. From what I know it was not until the dash 1 that they stoped the pinned barrel. What do you say, thanks.
I recently purchased a Model 57, 41mag from an estate of a dear past on firend. In researching the serial number I found that the revolver was from the first year of production. I paid the $50.00 to have S&W provide a certificate of authenticity. I found that the model 57, 41 mag went into production in March 1964. S&W said in the revolver was initially purchased by a sporting goods store in Long Beach Ca and was shipped on Feb, 21st 1964. From what I figure by the dates, this would put this revolver as a Pre-Production issue. The revolver came in a relined presidential case and is 99% original blue. I fully intend on this revolver becoming a family heirloom but would be curious as to the value for insurance purposes.
