I really like the 657 3" revolvers. I picked up 2 of them so I have a spare, just in case. I worked up a load with a 250 grain bullet that goes about 850 fps and is controllable to shoot (though the photo shows 210 gr JHP ammo in an HKS speed loader). Carries well in this Milt Sparks PMK. I don't use the S&W Combat stocks it came with as they do not fit my hand well.
