About Smith & Wesson N Frame Revolvers
The N Frame is Smith & Wesson's large-frame platform, designed for magnum cartridges. The Model 57 was introduced in 1964 specifically for the .41 Magnum cartridge. The hand-ejector design, where the cylinder swings out to the left for loading, has been a S&W hallmark since the early 1900s and represents one of the most reliable and enduring revolver mechanisms ever created.
