Smith & Wesson Model 58 4” Nickel

[Lon]

No idea if this is a good deal or not. Didn’t have time to wait for someone to show up to get it out of the case. But thought someone here may be interested. It’s in the Gun Library of the Centerville, OH Cabela’s. Don’t see these everyday around here.

I’d buy it if it was local to me. It’s not uncommon to see M58’s go for $1000+ anymore.

[JHC]

AAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!!!!!

Yeah good deal.

$1500 round heeyah

[BN]

I wonder if that's the one I had years ago. I traded it in for a 1911 in Cambridge, I think.

[Joe in PNG]

As long as everything works, that's a dang good deal.

[BobM]

Very tempting but I'm wondering if there is something wrong with it or if it is mis-tagged.

[JHC]

Someday I'll come across a cosmetically beaten up 58 priced like this. And I will snap it up. Same goes for a model 38-44.

[Hambo]

If it had no mechanical issues, I wouldn't have let go of it until I was out in my truck.

[Poconnor]

I would have jumped on it unless it was worn out. Strip the nickel, round butt, action tune and coat it NP3. Add a lanyard ring and it would be a great woods gun. I like used but not abused revolvers. Honest carry wear is not an issue.

I didn’t know that Cabelas was running their annual "Black Friday 50% off M58s" sale early this year...

[RevolverRob]

I think Stephanie B is currently holding that she won't buy a .41 Magnum. This is a price that I think would make her think thrice about that decision...

:eek:

Somebody for the love of Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson, call them and buy this thing.

[Lon]

Sigh, I may try to go back to Cabelas in the morning and see if it’s still there in need of rescuing.

[Nightvisionary]

Looks pretty rough. I would speak to the manager and offer $425.

Let me know if you buy it. I think I still have some speed loaders and brass. :)

I still have speedloaders and brass and dies and bullets and the 4" nickled M57 no-dash to shoot them in. Lon - If you get it and decide to move it on down the road, let me know.

Well if there was a reason for Stephanie B to get into reloading....this is definitely it.

And thus, the enabler has been enabled.

[TDA]

I sold off my regular Blackhawk and my Bisley in .41 Magnum, but a Model 58 is a Model 58.

I think I have a case of .41 magnum commercial reloads somewhere I can donate to this project.

[jtcarm]

The finish looks crappy but.a pre-lock N-frame for $500?

Damn!

[mtnbkr]

Something has to be seriously wrong for Cabelas to have priced it that low.

Normally, the best you can expect from them is the lower end of average. $499 is "shut up and take my money" territory for a functional N-frame.

That said, when I stopped by a Cabelas in Ohio during a business trip this Summer, they had some good prices, such as a sub-$300 no-lock S&W x42 (don't recall the exact model offhand), so maybe it's an Ohio thing?

It's not showing up in their online gun library (https://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/centerville-gun-library/_/N-1123391+4294712575/Ne-4294712575?WTz_st=GuidedNav&WTz_stype=GNU).

I had a crazy idea if the bore was crap that one could strip the finish and apply the spray finish of your choice, bore/rechamber to .430-.431, and modify the barrel for replaceable front sights of some type. That would be a nifty fixed sight cast bullet 44mag platform.

It wasn’t showing up the first day, either - they may not have exposed it to the web. Or, it’s gone.

I’ve always (like for 35 years) wanted a 4” fixed sight .44 special or magnum N frame utility revolver...

There's a discount bar code that you can use with your Cabela's CLUB card.

I've found that the "gun library" guns are priced kind of high. I had never encountered anything in there (at ANY Cabela's) that made me reach for my wallet, until a few months ago. By using my CLUB card points, I got a nice deal on a S&W 64 (no dash), 3", round butt, factory DAO, marked NY-1 at the Centerville, OH store.

S&W made a special run of 2.5" fixed sight 629s back in the 80s or 90s. I came across a *shiny* one in nickel plate for about $800 at a gunshow about 8-9 years ago. That was about $100 too high for a regular 629 at the time. Thinking this was someone's "custom" job, I left it on the table, but curiosity got the better of me and I googled it later. I found out it was a very limited run for a club or some distributor, I forget which. Had I known that, I might have bought it. I haven't seen one since.

I think with some good ivory paper micarta grips and a tooled leather OWB holster, it would have been a dandy BBQ gun or nicer CCW piece.

Not going to happen. I just ordered one of the shooter-grade HB Model 10s from AIM.

Nice.

[Lon]

I wasn’t able to make it back to look at it before my FL trip. I’ll try to stop by and see if it’s still there.

[396]

If this is the Centerville Cabela's, it wasn't there several days ago or it would've came home with me.

It wasn’t there Saturday night but I did see a 4” 64 for the same price.

$500 for a Model 64? {wince}

Today they had a 65-3 marked $449 that they'd take $425 for. Except for the target stocks which were BTH, it seemed in really good condition.

For a 3”, yeah, I can see that.
