Well Hello There
Was stumbling around the net trying to find the value of my 357,
when there's a link to this sight. I find that all my prayers are answered.
Well I get halfway though the " I agree" section and realize what a great country this would be if everyone who lived here had to sign that agreement!!
I am not a big gun guy. As a matter of fact the 357 was bought in 1980(?) Outside of two times it's never been fired in 36 years. In 1980 the neighborhood kid wanted to go out and "KILL" something, in that case it was a cardboard box, about 20 rounds. Then several weeks ago about 15 rounds in a CC class.
Now this next admission might get me disbarred or worse, but I gotta be honest. The sale of the 357 is to finance a Sig P238 Desert colored. I looked at the S&W and it is a nice looking gun, but the Sig is a downright work of ART,............ in my opinion.
I will post the 357 in the appropriate section when I get things figured out. I must add this disclaimer. I am 71 years old so everything I say is honest but not always accurate. Just ask "what's her name" Thanks to all.

Welcome to the forum. It must be an age thing. I'm only 70 and yesterday I bought a .357 magnum.

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.
Won't hold it against ya for swapping your .357 for a Sig. Just find it a good home.
The diminutive appearance of the P238 hides a surprisingly snappy recoil. I find the Hogue rubber grips help tame the snap and bring faster followup shots.

Glad to see some young blood joining. I'm older than dirt, and still find new sidearms following me home. Just hoping, kinda, for the sake of domestic tranquility, that the .357 you're selling isn't on my "itchy palms" list.

Bigwheelzip I looked at the Hogue's 38003 looks like the color of
"My Gun" but there are out of stock right now. They sell for around $650. give or take.
