Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 657-4 in .41 Magnum with a 7.5-inch stainless barrel is a rare and powerful N-frame revolver that combines heavy-hitting performance, precision capability, and the rugged reliability of Smith’s large-frame design. Built as a stainless version of the classic Model 57, the 657-4 retains the large target-style hammer, broad serrated controls, and a fully adjustable rear sight/ramp front combo, making it well-suited for both hunting and long-range Magnum work. The long 7.5? barrel delivers excellent muzzle velocity and a long sight radius, helping the potent .41 Magnum round reach its full ballistic potential and enabling tighter groups, especially when using hand-loaded or premium factory ammunition. Despite its size, the target hammer and wide trigger provide a crisp single-action break that offers impressive control, and the double-action pull—while stout—is smooth and predictable. The stainless construction provides superior corrosion resistance and a classic, brushed appearance that holds up well over time. Chambered in .41 Magnum, this revolver straddles a sweet spot in power: giving significantly more energy than .357 Magnum but with less brutal recoil than many .44 Magnum guns, making it attractive for serious shooters who want serious punch without going full bore. Owners and collectors value the 657-4 not only for its performance but also for its relative rarity and refinement—in many cases, these are highly regarded as “thinking-man’s magnum” revolvers with target-grade ergonomics, substantial stopping power, and classic S&W large-frame build quality.
