    How much .357 use can a M60 take?

    If you reload, you can have anything from mild to wild. You can use a 357 mag load that is hotter than a 38 special +p+, and less than a max 357 mag load. Should give you a lot of terminal performance, be easier to shoot, and be easier on your revolver.

    If you could only have one handgun - the Model 66?

    A Model 66 4" would be a good choice, but I'll take it in the 44 mag version. My "if I could only have one" selection would be a S&W 629-3 or -4, 4" barrel 44 mag ( both versions have the "endurance package" for increased strength). It uses a heavier bullet if you need it (my max weight is...

    Model 649 .38 Spcl 1-7/8 in barrel

    What dash number? 649-2 were heat-treated for +P loads. They might be worth a bit more than a no dash or 649-1. Ballpark price? $450 - $500. I have a 649-2. Love it. 649 dash number thread: 649 Dash Numbers?

    Shooter 629-3 Classic

    When do we get a range report? Loads? Accuracy at what distance? It's funny reading these threads. Nice photos of clean guns and fancy grips- but no sign of being used... SIGH.
