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 almost bought one many Moons ago that was Nickel, came back with the cash and hour later and was sold!

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

EvilTwin does.

Talk to RJM, our resident 41 mag expert!

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

That's one seriously cool revolver!!!

That's exactly where I've landed, too. There's an evilbastard trying to sell me a very nice 58 now. I am sorely tempted to buy another. It's a nice one.

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

The Great Enabler was responsible for my first .41 purchase😜

A round butt, three inch barrel, version, would be a nice carry gun.

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..

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.

I buy mine at a shop in Ct. for $46.00. I have seen them on Amazon.com for about the same...

Bob

ps...if you go buy that other 58, the Speed Scabbard also comes in left hand... ;-)

i looked these up on amazon, for us left handed people, it's more like 75bucks or so.

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.
