Definitely another vote for K frames. All I would ever want or need is a K frame 357, 38spl, or 22. Ultimate frame for either of these 3!

Been shooting my Mod 19-5 6" last couple weekends. I've run a lot of different ammo's thru it trying to settle on a good Deer hunting load and a practice ammo that'll hit POI with it. I also carry it one day a week on my lonesome, on the job into Black Bear country loaded with Buffalo Bore...

DR505, :D, especially the long barrel!

I'd be very happy with consistent 5of6 1.5" with open sights, and less than 1" with a scope. Those 17's are Classy shooters and I'd like one for a squirrel gun!

What kind of grouping are those that have Model 17's are you'll getting?

It may be a little high for the trader's, collectors, but not to us shooters. I have a 19-5, blued, made about the same time. I just came in the door from shooting about 100 rds thru it. 158gr SP S&B's @ 25yds grouped almost like a good 22 rifle and I was hitting 8oz plastic bottles and coke...

I have a Model 19-5 6" S&W but I've never hunted with it. For Whitetail deer which load would you use for the best chance at a quick kill? I have 180 gr LFN Buffalo Bore & Grizzly's, 180 HP Federals, along with some 158 HP and SN and it shoots these all very well. But what is the ultimate Deer...

Any links to the Doug Wesson 1st Big Game hunts with the 357 Mag. I know I've read about them or at least seen pics in the past.

Of all the handguns I've ever handled, my 6" Model 19 is just like Baby Bears Soup? Just right! And it get's used, not stashed away. Really, to me it's the ultimate handgun!

Finally got another chance to give my Mod 19 a good ammo workout. I run a number of different brands & loads thru it and it seems to actually do well with em all. I tried some 158gr JHP Sellier&Ballot first and after I calmed down from the first 6 they did well. The load I did best with was...

Setting down to an late afternoon meal of fried squirrel, apples, & biscuits, taken over open sights is about the perfect day for me! Enjoyed many a day like that with a rifle, but with a handgun, now that's something else I want to enjoy before I get to old to get around the woods. These 17's...

fyimo, that is a BEAUT! ky wonder, Thanks and I'll do that!

ky wonder, I'm down in the southeast corner, harlan county. Where you at? I'm spent out right at the present buying the model 19 and $150 of ammo for it, and vacation coming up. But if the offer still stands in a month or so I'd likely come right to you. Looks like a fine pistol!

You'll are getting me in Trouble with the wife! Drool all in the floor! Truth spoken. I need to get my hands on one!!

I'd sure like to find one in good shape with the 8+" Barrel. I'd also like to get one New & in Box! Shame they aren't still making em. The longer sight radius would payoff in the woods! Gonna keep my eyes open for a while. Weatherby, is that an H&R?
