Season 3: SUN 18 NOV 2012 NWI Meet & Shoot

Joe...

Is your S&W 58 some kind of conversion? It would be relatively easy (if not preventatively expensive) to swap out barrel and cylinder if someone really had their heart set on a .45acp revolver rather than the much more valuable service model .41 Mag they already had.

The model 58s were a favorite for customization back in the day. 41 mag was never a popular cartridge, but it's always had a cult like following. This one was customized as a carry piece way back when, by someone who had a pretty decent head on their shoulders. It has a 4inch barrel with shrouded ejector, the frame is cut down to accept k-frame round butt grips, it's cut for moon clips and I am of the opinion that it had at one time a companion cylinder for 45 colt. The model 58 was one of the only N-frame revolvers with fixed sights making it desirable for a smoother draw. And the trigger after I cleaned the gunk out of it is one of the smoothest and lightest I've ever messed with. Matt at Front Toward Enemy measured the single action pull at 2.8lbs. Today I would never think of doing something like that to a 58, but since it came this way, I'm going to enjoy the fruits of somebody's labor.

Track me down so I can get some good pics for you of your first shots.

I will have to track you down as well. Turns out the entire time my fiance was here last time, you got the only picture of us together. So, need to try and get some more taken again, hahaha. Neither of us are good at taking them, and yours was a perfect shot. Thanks

Somewhat late notice, but, we will have the mythical andy219's DE50 and S&W 500 with us. If you want to shoot them, bring ammo. I'm guessing factory brass only, waiting on confirmation from Andy himself.

As long as its the right size ammo, you can use it. Factory, reloads or rolls of quarters... Just no scratching your, ummm, "delicates" so to say.

What if the "delicates" are detachable and they fit?

There is a song called Detachable Penis by King Missile. Look it up on youtube, it cracks me up everytime I hear it.

Sounds like a winner, brother. A very interesting piece you have there. I would love to take a closer look some time.
