I had the opportunity to get a 360 PD for $750 a while back and I'm still kicking myself for passing on it, that's a $1000+ gun now.

I know the Winchester 110 grain 357 is relatively mild, I've heard the 38 +p+ 110 grain treasury load was very hard on guns though. I've seen the 110s mentioned in articles about it but 9 times out of 10 it's the hot 125s that get the blame.

You're right it is an apples to oranges comparison, at the same time the Security Six was never intended to have the relief cut so one would think it could potentially be an issue. It was developed with a full forcing cone, it was only during the last 3 years of production that the Rugers were...

I'm a die hard 357 magnum guy, there are some 38 special loads that I do trust but if I'm only carrying 5 or 6 rounds I want the best performance I can get. A 38 J frame is good for pocket carry and a good back up gun but for an EDC revolver I want 357 myself. Accuracy is very important, In my...

Found a shooter grade 28-2 locally, has some holster wear but otherwise looks great. Shop is asking $600 for it. I really wish I could get it, I know it's not a RM or 27 but it's still an N frame 357, the original magnum. If anyone here is from NE Ohio and wants to know where to find it just let...

29 revolvers since January? I wish I could say that, I got 2 this year so far and thought I'd went over board. Don't discount the 3 inch guns especially in 357, very handy all around guns. I love my 3 inch magnums! A 3 inch 13 or 65 is at the top of my want list. If you'd like to donate some...

Either way for the price you did great! Congrats!

The one case Ayoob normally points to is the Daniel Bias case. Mr and Mrs Bias were from New Jersey (there's a hint) and Mrs Bias committed suicide using a 38 that Mr Bias had loaded with light handloads. The prosecution said it couldn't have been suicide, the powder burn wasn't consistent with...

That's pretty much the story I've always heard and it is true, the 125s and 110s are very hard on the gun especially with slower powders. The K frame magnums were intended to be shot with 38 and carried with 357, that's also true but notice there weren't too many issues with it until later on...

I still get odd looks when I shoot factory 357 from a snubby at the range 🤣 I scared the you know what out of some younger guys shooting 9mm the last time I went to the indoor range. I believe the new K frames are made for 357, full forcing cone at least. I've never had a K frame but I have...

Wow! I'm a little surprised by that one, I've never used Blue Dot but the guys that do seem to love it. Burn rate wise it's around HS6 and Longshot right? I know it's faster than 2400. I tried to work up a 357 load using Win 231, I knew I wouldn't get magnum velocities but I thought I could...

I agree, 357 is my favorite and preferred caliber. And I definitely understand, what works for one person might not work for another. If I carry anything bigger than an LCP or Bodyguard at 3 or 4 o'clock it looks like I have a twin growing out of my side. There are a ton of guys who can pocket...

I'm the same way, I definitely prefer a revolver. I love semi autos too and I do carry a semi auto quite often but my main carry gun is a 3 inch 357.

I can tell you from experience this is the way to go! I remember having some Fiocchi 38 wadcutters that felt like shooting a 22, that was out of a 357 but I'm sure it'd make shooting a light weight 38 much more pleasant. I have light handload with a 158 grain SWC, very fun to shoot but not...

I'm a die hard 357 magnum guy but there are limits to what I consider enjoyable. First and foremost with a magnum the grips absolutely have to fit my hand. I recently sold one of my 357s because it was hard to find grips for it. I also prefer rubber grips but don't mind wood target grips...

It definitely has happened, I just don't think it's really a widespread issue. God knows how many rounds that 66 had digested before you got it. It could've started prior to you buying it, my 642 had a small chip on the outside of the forcing cone that I didn't notice at first, fouling covered...

That is true, they weren't intended for huge diets of 357 in the first place. For me the K frame and similar size guns in 357 are great for carrying full power 357. Small enough to conceal yet big enough to handle full power 357 with good control. Even with my K sized Rugers I shoot way more 38...

Wow, never knew that was possible with a vintage K. I wonder how many of those are out in the wild?

I've had a Glock 42 and I had a 642, I also have a Ruger LCP. For me the 42 is too big to be a pocket pistol at least for me personally, the 642 concealed much better. The LCP is truly a pocket pistol and I personally don't find it much harder to shoot than the 42. As for caliber I trust the...

To be honest I've only seen a few sets of data from Speer #8, all I know is most people won't even quote the loads from that manual. I've been thinking about getting a reprint of it just to see for myself. I think the 38 special loads are the ones that got really crazy, I never hear too much...
