📖 About the Smith & Wesson Model 57
The Smith & Wesson Model 57 is a large N-frame double-action revolver chambered for the powerful .41 Magnum cartridge. Introduced in 1964, the Model 57 was designed as a law enforcement and hunting revolver, offering a balance between the .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum. The N-frame's robust construction and the .41 Magnum's ballistics made it a favorite among serious handgunners and collectors.
The hand ejector design allows the cylinder to swing out to the left for rapid loading and unloading via the center-mounted ejector rod - a Smith & Wesson innovation that has stood the test of time since the late 1800s.
