•    Smith & Wesson Model 57   

    This Smith & Wesson 57-6 is 3/4 covered with American Scroll engraving. This particular handgun also features a full Grizzly Bear on the frame. The 41 magnum Smith & Wesson’s were championed, and had design input from the famous author and Border Patrolman, Bill Jordan.

    Bill Jordan’s book, No Second Place Winner, is still considered a must-read by aficionados of fast six-gun shooters. He believed that the Model 57 was the best large-frame revolver for policework. He brought additional fame to the Model 19 as a police firearm.

    The engraving on this Model 57 represents a classic style for both Smith & Wesson and Colt double action revolvers.

    You’ll notice that the engraving also covers the grip frame. This way, no matter what grip you choose, there will be no gap in the engraving. I do this on all of the revolvers that I engrave unless specifically requested not to do so!
