I have a 3” S&W 60-15, a 4” Ruger GP100 and a 6” 1974 Smython – all in .357 magnum.

What other .357 magnum would round out this collection of revolvers?

See my avatar....I recommend an M&P 340 for CC. Fits real nice on ya, even in the summer.

If you want to stay roughly on the same size frame and barrel length, a good Korth or full Python would do it. A Colt King Cobra or a Shooting Master or "Colt .357" would work too.

If it is a collection of target/hunting guns you want, a Colt New Frontier or a Ruger Blackhawk Bisley might round it out and might be a bit less than some of the other pieces.

Also, a model 27 or 28 S&W is something needed as I don't seen an N-frame .357.

Definitely need to add a .357 rifle or two to go with the handguns too.

What's wrong with a Registered Magnum. Or, a pre-27, or Mod. 27. The greatest .357 made.

I agree you definatly need a Mod. 27 3-1/2"
Mod 28
Mod 13
and even a Ruger Speed Six

Model 19. Or a Couger (Colt frame, Ruger barrel).

I have a small collection of .357 handguns, similar to what you've got. Rounding it out is a Rossi Puma w/ 16" barrel, and a large loop lever. It's a great little shooter. I added a Williams peep and a Lyman white bead to upgrade the sights, and if I do my part, it'll goup under 3" at 100 yards. Consider a nice little lever action, like the Rossi, or a Marlin. They're hard to beat for fun.

There is something OTHER than the Pre "27" ??? " 27", "27-1", and the ever favorite "27-2"???? Well bless my soul... who would of guessed???

How about a Coonan .357 semi-auto pistol? I hear they're back in production. Dale

I like the Smython

I would add a 6" GP100, and a 6" 586-686.......something about a full lug 6" .357 has always appealed to me. I can't afford a Python so I found a King Cobra.

Great choice with the GP100.......that gun will never let you down.



Maybe the other Wesson, a Dan?

I would go with a Dan wesson

How about a .357 lever gun to go with those revolvers.

How about a S&W 66.

I am a fan of the Model 28, but if you must, a Model 27 is OK.

Sign me up for one....no, make it two of these!!!

A royal blue Python and, since you don't have a nickel .357 . . . why not a Model 27 of some sort, with a 3 1/2" barrel (the '57 Chevy BelAir Convertible of .357 Magnums)!

....a collection of .357s without a 686 is incomplete.

You appear to have DA, frame sizes and bbl lengths covered. I would go for a Stainless Blackhawk with a 7.5" bbl.

I'd go with a Rossi Lever Action Repeater in .357. There's a guy out of Texas or somewhere that smooths them out very well. Have never dealt with him but here's his link and no affilation(sp).

Rossi 92 Specialist, Nate Kiowa Jones a.k.a. Steve Young - Professional Gunsmith

That's going to be my next one when I get two houses sold.

A .357 lever gun would be a nice little piece, you'd be good to go out to 300 yards.

I foolishly passed up a nice little Winchester .357 carbine, it was a handy little rifle with a 16" or so barrel, would have been a perfect "just in case" rifle to keep in the closet. I don't know how many fit in the tube, but say 12 or so .357's on demand would be a potent "primary" with a .357 revolver as a backup for things that go bump in the night. You could also load it with .38 +p's for less penetration in the home and probably squeeze 1 or 2 more in the tube.

Ruger makes a .44 Magnum bolt action rifle, if they made a bolt gun in .357 I guarantee I'd already have one I'm still waiting for S&W or Ruger to come out with a .357 revolving carbine......either a 686 or a GP100 with a 16" barrel and a shoulder stock......Taurus makes that carbine version of the Judge, I don't see why US gunmakers don't run with the idea for existing revolvers.

I may have to go with a new Henry......they're made in the USA, and they make them in .357, .44 and a few other calibers. I hear good things about them and I like the look of the brass receiver.

Saw the Coonan 357 auto at the NRA convention. Beautiful, get one. Or a Rhino (barrel on the bottom) -- it will be the next non-selling hot collector gun like the Ruger 256 Hawkeye.

So do I. Those are beautiful. Thank doG they didn't call it the Pyth & Wethon!

Good call!

Don't forget the Cougar......****ger Security Six with a Python barrel!

I'll take a Rhino in 6"......I would never use one for CC and so don't want the 2" or 3"......would be a cool range gun though.

How do you get past the Rhino "Ugly Gun" factor?

L-frame is just about the most perfect size for the .357 cartridge.
