The Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum 

Wow.. Just wow. Decided to sub on the basis of this video..

Don't forget General George Patton's 3 1/2" barrel length Registered Magnum. It is not for sale but deserves an honorable mention.

WOW! What a great presentation. I love and my favorite caliber is the .357. Thank you for sharing.

This video breaks my heart knowing I can’t afford any of these beautiful guns!😢

I'll have to say, they're handsome looking pistols

So, who did the cockeyed hammer? Looks like a King job?

Hard to disagree with Roy Jinks and his assertion that this is the most important handgun of all time. The RM’s are unobtainable, but the pre-27’s from the 1950’s are fabulous too.

Outstanding presentation on the Historical Smith & Wesson's 357 , Each Revolver is One of a kind, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, that engraved 3" is SO BEAUTIFUL. It's amazing the condition, they are incredible peices history ! 🤪😍❤️🏆Wow !!!!!!

Nowadays you don't know what you get

60 Dollars is equal to just under 1400 Bucks today, I would say that even that is a steal for a handmade item.

Gorgeous pieces of art. I have Reg. #4310 serial 57521 made in 1939. 6 1/2 inch barrel, engraved, one side has a cowboy in a bucking bronco and the other an eagle - possibly Orville Kuhl's work. Kings front night sight, Kings rear sight and hammer is stamped "Kings Cockeyed Hammer" but flared on both sides (weird). Has gold strip inlaid running down the back with someone's name engraved on it. LOVE IT! wish I could get one I wouldn't mind shooting every now and then.

The 357 has always been my favorite round. It has so many uses compared to other calibers and it's fun to shoot.

The Roper grips on Baughman's gun were actually made by Mattias Gagne, Albert (who you mentioned) was his son.

Entirely off-topic, but there's something about S&W revolvers and their popularity with police. When I think of law enforcement through the early '80s, I picture the well-kempt officer with the .357 Magnum on his hip and maybe mirrored sunglasses. I had a police surplus Model 19 that was stolen, and now have a new Model 29. They lack the history and most definitely the value of these Registered Magnums, but the classic S&W lines are there. Again, off-topic, but I've always considered S&W to be basically standard issue for cops decades ago, with Colt filling a niche for better funded departments and Ruger being seen in the holsters of many private security guards. Maybe it's just me. Nowadays, it's body armor, load carrying vests, cargo pants, and Glocks being worn by most cops. Call me weird, but the mid-20th Century cop wearing a tie and N-frame revolver seems like more of an authority figure.

That annoying, he-haw, chuck wagon music in the background really sets the tone.

Legendary so amazing the history the stories fascinating

wow

My ultimate goal in life: come work for you guys! (and spend every cent I've ever earned at your auctions)

I have an older model 27, bought it years ago. Was going to buy a python but liked the S&W better Plus at $325 it was $75 cheaper then the Python! Should have bought both of them

Dang Matt. That gave me goosebumps!

4597 there has had the hammer re-checkered. The pattern should be square, looks like someone got aggressive with a file on it.

Excellent !!! Well done 👏 A wonderful presentation.

Great presentation. What stood out to me was the following of Lee Harvey Oswald. Yet the agencies were not together enough to save Kennedy.

Send me all of them please.

Pinnacle of modern American revolver design and construction.

i've shot one. a range regular has a registered magnum 8 3/8 that he brings out once a year. he let me shoot 2 rounds through it. it was smooth. the checkering on top of the barrel and topstrap was nice. his gun was from around the 2nd yr of production.

1 '22" i love small grips !!! Its easy to install same on your modern 19/586/27😊 for badass look

Knows his guns, but dude, it's pronounced "Sue-Saint-Marie". The "Sue" Hardware Company.

That last revolver looks like it has a notch on one side of the grips. Wonder if there’s a story there..

Soo is pronounced Sue. and Sault Ste. Marie is pronounced Sue Saint Marie.

Hey chief: “later predecessors” isn’t a thing…

This guy sounds like a used car salesman.

Naice guns

this thin panel grips are so Badass in long barrel

Another great video

OMGosh!

Neato!

Dads hammond uoriso

Another great history lesson from RIA.

The one I own was my Grandfathers, given to my dad, then me. I have the registration certificate, and a copy of the letter from my grandfather to Smith & Wesson, on the back stating that he had given the gun to my dad. The letter is dated 1947. This puppy shoots great and is the smoothest feeling pistol I have ever felt. Thanks for the video, it is great.

Amazing!!!!!!!!
