The sexiest 357?

gfors · #**151** 01-22-2021, 08:27 AM

And for drop dead gorgeous (in my collection), I submit this 27-2.

So, do you use Cholula on your eggs, or Hoppe's?

Wiregrassguy · #**153** 01-22-2021, 10:01 AM

Discerning S&W owners just have to say that your ketchup bottle is upside down!

Seriously, that is a beautiful handgun. I would be proud to own it.

DRYHEAT · #**154** 01-22-2021, 11:31 AM

I had another 'sexy' .357 a while back...

WCCPHD · #**155** 01-22-2021, 11:39 AM

Someone asked for a photo of a Model 13 "working gun."

Here's one. I carried it for several years as my agency's last issued revolver.

I haven’t seen a slab side yet! This revolver is one of very few square butt grip that the performance center produced.

Thanks, Guy!

And no one has posted their "all business" 520? No flash, all burger.

Here's mine

I think I broke my like button.

Don't know how I missed this thread but better late than never...

My "sexiest " 357 is sexy because it's a dead ringer for my duty gun from the Jurrasic and happens to be one of the most accurate revolvers I've ever owned.

Model 66 no dash, "upgraded " with CCH TH and TT. (grips aren't to shabby either, but I'm biased

)

Oh that’s purdy!

Those look like Culinas? I had some on mine too.

Well I'm going to have to take more pictures but these are mine

Those are actually factory silver washers.

Magnas came on it originally. and those with a Tyler T are what I mainly keep on it but...the Targets are "sexiest ".

In the "exotic" category of "sexy" .357 Magnum revolvers, I've always liked this "snaked" Highway Patrolman Smolt

1blindref · #**168** 01-23-2021, 10:18 AM

Any Pre Model 27, but if I had to choose one ....

Gray_Ghost49 · #**169** 01-23-2021, 05:56 PM

I too would have loved to show my Model 28-2, but someone seem to have liked it better than me. It was stolen along with my other 6 S&W's. It was my prize weapon. It was my first S&W revolver.

jscott · #**170** 01-23-2021, 07:51 PM

19-3 nickel, my favorite. Did me right one winter day in Detroit, 47 years ago. Still have it.

That is one of my favorites... and if I recall correctly, one SN adjacent to this one...

Yes Sir! Your memory is spot on.

I completely agree.

A "mere" like just falls short.

Kurusu · #**175** 01-24-2021, 09:35 AM

Well, this one is a bit "outside the box", but it is in .357 Magnum. And I do like the looks of it.

I have to add to the ‘sexy’ list my re-homed Utah Highway Patrol marked M27-2.

Shipped: May 18, 1967

LEO918 · #**177** 01-24-2021, 02:06 PM

Here's my .357 from 1955 with Keith Brown Magnas. Lighting was awful today.

bracebeemer · #**178** 01-24-2021, 02:56 PM

Factory Class A engraved,83/8” barrel,rosewood presentation stocks. Shipped in 1953. I think she’s pretty sexy. Casing is by Marvin Huey. Bill

sodacan · #**179** 01-26-2021, 09:29 AM

There's not one revolver in this thread that I wouldn't be happy to own. I didn't see one of these. I really like fixed sight service revolvers, and this no dash 681, IMO, is one of the best looking designs to ever to come out of S&W.

LEO918 · #**180** 01-26-2021, 09:54 AM

Here's my old shooter grade five screw with five inch barrel.

PNY UP · #**181** 01-26-2021, 11:46 AM

Hard decision but the Pre 27 is just prettier to me than the 27-2 Nickel.

mr Hotgun · #**182** 01-26-2021, 11:55 AM

My 686 sexiest gun ,with homemade cast alu grips

bill-in-texas · #**183** 02-01-2021, 10:40 PM

I can't compete with most of the beauties, here...

However, here is my sexiest .357!

627-0 "Model of 1989"

That is a beauty. There's enough steel in that cylinder to smelt down and make the hood of a Dodge Truck!!!

Very cool.

Thanks for sharing,

YeshuaIsa53 · #**185** 02-02-2021, 11:03 AM

I needed more coffee for this morning, after running into this thread. What a magnificent group of guns and people willing to share them.
I'll take a rain check for now, but love the .357 Magnums. Having a liking for K frames, I love my 19-2 4". However, there's an L frame when I get the chance to share. What a way to start a day. Thanks, caretakers and shooters alike.

ohioan55 · #**186** 02-05-2021, 06:11 PM

I know it's not a Smith (top one), but it is one of my favorite carrys. It fits my hand perfect and has a nature point of aim for me. The others are some other small Smiths I have. The second picture is my wife's and has totally ruined her. It's all she'll shoot now and she goes thru ammo like a, well, you imagine. It keeps me busy loading and unloading the moon clips as she feels that's man work, or so she says.

YeshuaIsa53 · #**187** 02-05-2021, 07:29 PM

I'll post a better picture later one day. This is my favorite L frame .357.
Please ignore the .44 Special. Now, to try and post the bad picture.

Sage advice to heed

Though some are dressed for speed

The best were built for traction

klind45 · #**189** 02-06-2021, 09:50 PM

I hope that I don't have to pick just one. First pic 27-5 and 19-3 second 581nd and a 66-1. There's more but for another day.

Glad to see a 581 make it in the bunch. Like those guns.
