My use of the .357 was spotty. Several friends had 6" M28s that were very accurate, so I bought one. It shot well, but I was more into big bores, so it was sold. I bought a 3 1/2 M27 to convert into a .44 Special. I bought a box of LSWC .357 ammo and shot it. That soft lead coated the bore and accuracy went to, well you know where. It quickly became a .44 Special. I had two more M28s; both were sold.
Since my PD issued .38 wadcutters for the police academy, I bought a 4" blue M19. I did an action job and round butted it. Shot expert with it, but went back to the converted M27 for duty use. A ex-wife wound up with the M19.
I've had several .357 Old Model Ruger Blackhawks converted to .44 Special, as well as another M28. I owned a 8 3/8" nickel M27 for a while. I had David Clements install a 5" barrel. That one went to a lawyer.
Had a flat top .357 OM Ruger and a couple of 50 year Rugers as well. All were sold.
My current crop is a nickel M19-4 4" that my wife has claimed. I also have a 3 digit flat top .357 Ruger that my dad left to me. I want another 5" M27 or a 4" M28, but they're not at the top of my want list.
I forgot the 4" Ruger Service Six I bought a few weeks back. Need to get out and shoot that one.
