I've taken a shine to carrying my M58, especially in the woods, riding in a Simply Rugged pancake. If it concealed a little more easily I'd probably carry it in town now and then. It's a great revolver and I like that it doesn't have that fragile looking rear sight blade that the M57 has. It came with a nice set of Jordan Troopers and the gun just fits me well. It's a tad heavy but....

Excellent handgun.
Amarillo PD used to carry lots of those. They saw some action too...

I carry one in the woods.... One stay one of my favorite handguns.... I have since gotten a really good deal on a Titanium S&W 44 special that weights practically nothing and I have started carrying it some as well.... But the 58 still shoots better.....
Bottom line..... Wonderful gun

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I'd love to have one just because I don't have one now.

I prefer my 58 to every 57 I have ever owned.... Still never had one of the many 57s I have owned ever shoot as good as my 58

I have a 58 and love it! The only thing I dislike is the factory magna grips from a strictly shooting aspect. I have fairly large hands and the magnas just don't give me enough to grab. I solved that by going to a hogue wood grip. I also had considered a Tyler t grip to see if that helped any as well and kept the classic look with the magnas

Real Hawkeye, I saw one beautifully reworked like you describe, 3 or 4 years ago when I was on a roll. Only reason I didn't buy it was that it was ported. I have a thing about that.

..here I am getting blamed again for others "weakness of the flesh"... It seems any time anyone gets a .41 or a .38 Super "It's all Bob's fault"... I've had 10 since my first one in 1973. The only two left have been "mutilated"...a 1964 that someone thoughtfully parkerized and a early 1970s that has been really slicked up. Have been shooting the custom 58 in local IDPA shoots and just shot the parkerized one today at a friends camp. A 3" round butt whould be the KatzAzz.... Don't carry them all that often as I prefer a Commander... ...also try a DeSantis Speed Scabbard...it is much more compact than the SR holster and holds the gun higher and tighter to the body.. Bob

I have a blue mod. 58 loaded , & kept in the bedroom. (Made in 1970). For a while in the late 80's early 90's... it was my go to gun .That's when I owned a Tavern in Pittsburgh.
I finished off 2 animals with it. A wild boar & 1 exotic Ram. Glad I had that fixed sighted .41 mag. with me on more than a few instances.

Bob, I'll look for a good price on a speed scabbard. I have one for my 1911s and like it.

actually not the fault of the enabler, as i think i bought my 58 before i knew him, but i had it out today as i was making some 41special loads. they really are kind of a heavy model 10. They just feel/point well in the hand. Curious to see how they work with the 41special loads.
