Nickel model 57 |

Just added this one to my collection.. nickel model 57, with 3 T's, presentation box and tools. The only issue is that someone relined the presentation box, so I'm having Hammerdown restore the insides to original. Tough call on that because, to be honest, I kinda like the green! But, the gun is too nice not to have it 'right'... anyway, here are some pics. Enjoy!

Thanks... hey, I see you're starting to pay attention to your forum again! But, now it's your turn to show some pics.. I'm almost out of pics unless I start posting non N-frames! lol..

Okay, finally broke out the camera...
This is my only .41 Magnum. It's a little rough as far as finish goes, and the grips that came with it weren't in the greatest shape, but it's a nice shooter. Because it isn't pristine I probably shoot this N-frame more than any other. I guess I'm just not all that worried about it getting bumped and scratched.

Nice! I know a whole lot of people who would love to have a 'shooter' that looks that good.. me included!
That's the down side to buying really nice guns.. I'm having to buy a shooter version, as I just can't bring myself to shoot the really nice ones! lol.. sounds stupid, but what can I say?? Now that you've got your camera out, what else have you got hidden in your safe?? lol.. "Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives." - Ronald Reagan

I'd like to see it... what model is it?
By the way.. I moved all of my photos into different files on photobucket, and I've been slowly re-posting them. But.. I've noticed that my avatar doesn't want to show up, except occasionally. Do you know what could be wrong? thanks.. "Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives." - Ronald Reagan

No, it doesn't come up when I hit reload. Right now, looking through this whole thread.. the only one that the avatar is showing on is the last one. All the ones before that are blank, with an square with an x in the square. I don't know yet if it will show up on this post. Guess I'll find out in a minute! lol...
By the way, how about a pic of your first Smith?? "Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives." - Ronald Reagan

Sorry for the delay. We tend to spend a lot of time on the road during the summer and I've been neglecting my gun forum habit! I started a new thread in the General Firearms section.

I really like the .41 Magnum and your 4" guns look great and I am sure that they shoot great as well. I have my eye out for a 6" one as a deer gun.
In it's infinite wisdom the State of NH decided that the only deer hunting handguns are .357 Mag, 10mm, 41 Magnum, 44 Magnum, 45 Colt, 480 Ruger, and 500
S&W so my model 25 in .45 ACP is not a revolver that I can use in the Shotgun towns.
