Hi all,
I really appreciate EVERYBODY's talking with me about the Smith .357 magnums.
I began to understand a bit about the "breed" from all the comments.
I don't know that I had really decided on ONE particular model to focus on to go after.
But what I did have was enough overview to recognize something when it fell right in front of me.
Here's my new acquisition- a stainless 4" model 65-2:
It's a shooter.
I don't know if you can tell by the picture, but it's got a tiny ding here, some fine abrasion there.
But the price was right.
And a shooter was what I was after.
So I'm happy as a clam.
So many things about this revolver are just right for me and my plans for it:
- I love the stainless
- no rear sight is perfect for this gun
- my long fingers fall just perfect around the K frame
It's not my Daddy's Combat Magnum (scroll up) but this one is MINE.
Haven't shot her yet, but I will soon.
Much obliged everyone,
JamesD
P.S. On the evening I bought it, my first intent was to get me some nice wood grips (which I have always quite preferred) for it.
Probably right along the lines of Quakertown's 65-3.
And I probably will.
But, man, these Hogue's are ridiculously comfortable just to grip.
I gotta imagine for shooting they would be the cat's meow!
Decisions, decisions.
