I owned a 8 3/8" S&W Mod 57 (no dash) .41 Mag for years. At that time I had access to a good pistol smith who timed the cylinder, radiused the forcing cone, installed a spring loaded ball denent in the crane so the cyl. locked up on both ends and did an out of this world trigger job on it. I sold it a couple of years ago and was sorry ever since.
I just bought a blue 4" S&W Mod 57 .41 mag in like new condition. It is a 57-6 so not exactly what I had. I know I need a good trigger job but not sure I need to go farther with this newer model. Any thoughts?
My old 57 had a dbl action pull much smoother than any Python ever was. The hammmer drop was light - would ignite Federal primers only - others too hard.
I am in the DFW, TX area & would like to find one reasonably close so I can look him in the eye & get his ideas. It is already an accurate shooter. I shot some re loads the other day that I did in '92!
Any help, comments, etc will be appreciated.
