If you intend to carry .357 you may want to skip the scandium framed Smith.

There is just not enough weight in that little revolver to handle any Magnum type recoil.

That Kimber gives you 6 rounds as well. The Jframe gives you 5.

The Kimber Revolvers are supposed to be good little guns. I can't say up or down, I have never shot one, but the build quality on them looks real nice.

Kimber gets a bad rap, but they really are a good gun company.

I had a Stainless II 1911. I never had a single issue with it.

Build quality was great, tolerances were perfect, accurate.

I gifted it to a friend of mine for Christmas that did not have a 1911.

So I can recommend Kimber as a brand.
