Cool 8 3/8" Class A Factory Engraved Beauty

As many of you know, I have a strong attraction to the 8 3/8" .357s AND an even stronger attraction to the one-of-a-kind beauty that comes when quality engraving is added. Adding even more to this gun's appeal is a set of Keith Brown Ropers that completes the package...













Thanks for letting me share,

Been sitting and staring at this beauty for a while now.

Stunning doesn’t seem to adequately describe this one, but it’s the best I can do, Congratulations!

Here's the Range Report: I'm pleased to "report" that the perfect "range" to "shoot" photos of this gun is with a camera somewhere between 6" and 18" away from the "grouping" of the gun and its accessories. If I want to throw lead down the barrel of a long-tube Pre-27, this is the one that goes to the range with me:

Mighty impressive shooting!!! Not only a great group, BUT a great group that's RIGHT ON CENTER. I'm not sure that I could get that nice a group with a hole punch and a yellow stickie.

Thanks for all the comments and likes (along with the photos of that 8 3/8" 586). Here are a few more photos of the engraved barrel and the knuckle...
