New to me Smith & Wesson 58

[boatswainsmate]

A nice gentlemen at the Plymouth gun show sold me this Smith & Wesson Model 58 today. Thanks for looking and any comments.

That's a beauty! I've never owned a .41, or even shot one, but I have heard great things from a couple of buddies who are fans of the caliber. Maybe someday I'll pick one up, but for now it's still fun to look .

I didn't know there was a gun show in Plymouth today. Probably for the best as I had to work and would have been pissed all day about not getting to go. Besides the obvious great score on the Model 58, was the selection any good?

To me it was a great show with lots to look at other than tupperware firearms. It's the former Nappanee Show. I also bought a pair of Zebra Wood Large Frame Dan Wesson grips, J frame Banana Grips, 158 Gr XTP's, 125 GR XTP's, bullet mold and a box of 50 Caliber Gas checks.

Great looking .41! the 58 is on my short list. Family used to have one but was sold off 20 or so years ago. Really enjoy the .41 mag especially with a 4" barrel. Very nice, enjoy!

Well, I guess that explains where the Nappanee show went. Kinda disappointing, as it's always been a decent show, and Nappanee is closer than Plymouth for me. Guess I'll have to pay attention next year and try to make it over there!

NICE Those N Frame 41 Mags are pretty sweet

 

[KokomoDave]

Very nice Smith!

Beautiful gun. I have its brother, model 57. Be careful, the 41 is a disease that no one understands until they catch it.

 

[MrSmitty]

What a classic beauty!! Happy shooting!

 

[Smith& W]

Great buy, especially with those beautiful high dollar Coke Bottle grips. Truly one of the great old classics.

Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.

41 magnum is a fantastic caliber and, of course, a 58 is equally fantastic!!

Very nice pick up!!

THAT S&W is just fantastic. I have had a Model 57 4 in. for about 35 years and I'll never sell that gun. S&W was handbuilding amazing revolvers in those days. Just look at that bluing! Now, not so much...... If you want to shoot .41 Mag. you really really need to handload it or you will never discover what a GREAT cartridge it is.

Nice looking 41 Mag. The coke bottle grips really set it off. Are the grips numbered to the gun? And is there a fourth screw in the front of the trigger guard?

 

[led4thehed2]

Looks excellent - classic Smith all around. You did well getting those Target-style goncalo alves grips with it: just checked, and that model came with the skinnier Magna style grips. The target grips get pricier all the time.

The grips aren't numbered to the firearm. No screw that I see.

I found a set of the original type grips for it. They weren't cheap but I like to have things complete.

I don't believe you'll regret it. They look incredible and feel great.
