Smith & Wesson Model 57

The Smith & Wesson Model 57 is a large frame, six-shot, double-action revolver with a six round cylinder, chambered for the .41 Magnum cartridge, and designed and manufactured by the Smith & Wesson firearms company. The intended target market segments included law enforcement agencies and civilian firearms enthusiasts. It was released on the market in 1964. It was intended for law-enforcement because it had greater stopping power but less recoil than the mighty Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum. A no frills duty version was made and dubbed the Smith & Wesson Model 58.
