Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns S&W Model 57-1 now with 1st range report

Finally found a revolver to add as a side kick to the recent Marlin purchase in the same caliber. Its a Model 57-1 in .41 mag with a 4 inch barrel. I am not sure whether to leave the wood target grips on it or change to hogue tamer grips. I like the look of the wood but the tamer grips are a little thinner on it and give great purchase when handling. I really like the wide target hammer and the action is very smooth.

I am going to shoot it tomorrow with a bunch of different factory loads. I have all the components to reload and looking for any suggestions for favorites. I also have .41 special dies and brass, so any one have a favorite of that I would like to try also. I have quick load and other resources but figured I would ask the wealth of knowledge here since this is my first .41 mag.
