Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 57 is a distinguished large-frame, double-action revolver, known for its robust construction and chambering in the powerful .41 Magnum cartridge. Introduced in 1964, it was designed to bridge the performance gap between the .357 Magnum and the .44 Magnum, providing law enforcement with a potent yet manageable alternative. While initially intended for police use, the Model 57 gained greater popularity among civilian target shooters and hunters due to its impressive accuracy and balanced recoil. Built on Smith & Wesson's N-frame, the Model 57 features a six-round cylinder and was available with barrel lengths of 4", 6", 6 1/2", and 8 3/8". Its design emphasizes precision, with a red insert front sight, a white outline rear sight, and an adjustable rear sight, ensuring accuracy in shooting. Additional features include a target trigger, target hammer, and oversized wooden target grips, all of which contribute to its excellent handling and performance.

In 1986, Smith & Wesson introduced the Model 657, an all-stainless steel variant of the Model 57, offering enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The Model 657 retained the core features of the Model 57 but was exclusively produced in stainless steel, marking a significant evolution in the model's lineage. Between 1986 and 1987, Smith & Wesson made a limited run of just 5,490 Model 657 revolvers.
