What do Ya'll think?

I have a S&W Model 57-1 with a 8 3/8" barrel thinking about getting a shorter barrel like 2.5-3" and carring it every now and then. For those of ya'll that don't know a model 57 is chambered in .41 Remington Mag.

I'd go with 3"-4" if that's the case. A big ass revolver like that isn't going to benefit a lot from a sub-3" barrel for "carryability".

Personally, I'd just go get a .38 J or K frame for carry.

I've thought about that but just like the idea of a short barreled .41

I love mine tho it's might heavier than my ultra cdp 3" , I carry it occasionally
and the bark is a bit bigger

i think regardless if you carry it or not you've got a sweet gun. gotta love .41 mag!

but yeah a 4" barrel would probably be better to get a little more out of the cartridge than a snub. gotta remember, its not the barrel that's hard to hide!

That is sharp...

I carry a snubby 44 Spl from time to time. I have to say though its not a comfortable as a auto and harder to conceal.
If carrying IWB its even more uncomfortable IMO.

I always thought it a good idea to carry the same weapon all the time....in the milisecond you need it theres no fumbling of fingers in the wrong spot.

What length barrel is that.

that is a sweet looking hand gun atriot:

Sweet? I figure that would depend on which direction you are looking at it. I can just hear some BG saying "man, please don't shoot me with that sweet gun."
