The Model 57-1 is built on S&W's steel N-frame with a square-butt grip frame and bright nickel finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver. The top rib and topstrap are longitudinally serrated for a clean sight picture, complementing the heavy 6-inch barrel and short ejector-rod shroud.
Target-focused features include a wide, smooth-face trigger and a target hammer with a wide checkered spur. Sights consist of a ramped front blade with an orange/red insert and a S&W micrometer-adjustable target rear sight, providing precise elevation and windage control.
This double-action/single-action revolver retains the classic six-shot fluted cylinder in .41 Rem. Mag., with checkered wood target stocks featuring S&W medallions for a solid grasp and traditional presentation.
Factory markings include the yoke cut stamped "MOD. 57-1" and the right-side frame legend "MADE IN U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS." As a -1 engineering change, this example reflects the transition away from the earlier pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. Manufactured in 1986 in the United States.
