Are Baby Boomers selling off their gun collections? For the past year or so, I have noticed a wave of cool old firearms hitting the store shelves. I sure would like to add this one to the rack… along with a dozen or so other available classic goodies, but since I too am a Boomer Baby with geezerdom hot on my heels… it just isn’t the correct thing for me to do at this stage of my life.
Gosh, that sure is a purty old revolver… S&W Model 57 .41 Magnum…
Bye forever my love, we could have been so good for each other…

Aw, man! That's sweet, even with the goofy chambering.
ReplyDeleteI can't afford it right now, but just out of curiosity, what were/are they asking for it?
ReplyDeleteLooks NIB. Is it?
My weakness and downfall will be a 2.5" Model 19/66 with the "right trigger" and a round butt. There won't be no saying no when I find that right trigger.
LOL@Borepatch
ReplyDeleteGoofy chambering? Harumph!
$900 and no negotiating... add on the 7% Illinois sales tax and it is a bit too dear for me.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to guess "lightly fired." The cylinder has marks from being turned often; the colors on the hammer and trigger look clean. It is one of the nicest 57s I have seen in a while.
If I run across a 2.5'' Model 19 I'll give you a holler.
That is a thing of beauty and they definitely don't make them like that anymore. That said, that price seems a little steep, even in today's market.
ReplyDeleteI would have felt better if it languished on the store shelf for a few months, but as of yesterday I found that someone ran off with my true love...
