Say, i can not find any info on the 41 mag S&W model 57. 57 for the year it came out. It was a police gun but to powerful for the women police to shoot. It was replaced by 10mm. Why come I cant find any info?

The blue book value of firearms, retail and what a gun or pawn shop sells them for has no relation. Just because a shop or retailer sells it for a certain price dosen't mean that;s what the gun is worth. Besides you'll never get the full value price for a firearm from any gun shop or retailer. They will give you below value and as used price than what it's actually woth. To get the full value of a firearm is to probably sell it a an quailty auction. The blue book gives you a full value of the firearm not the cost if you where to sell it. The value would be the highest dollar amount worth to any body interested.

this is where all prices start from like cabelas pawn shops gun shows the buyer price thing usually applies with highly collectible stuff like winchester 94's and german p38 ww2 pistols stuff of the 2000 dollar up range i see it at my buddies shop when people bring in collections to consign these guys sell used and do consignments and they repair they dont sell new guns

it has been my experience that Cabela's prices are about 10 to 15 percent higher than anyone else either online or retail

again try gunbroker.com, just look up the gun and sometimes you can see what they're going for in an auction

I posted a review for this model and the article on it. Check it out to see if it helps anymore and I've heard that 57's can go for as low as 590 at gun shows and such.
