Just trying to remember all the brands of 357 weapons that I've owned:

01) Smith & Wesson

02) Dan Wesson

03) Thompson Center

04) Colt

05) Astra

06) Saur & Shon

07) Uberti

08) Ruger

09) Taurus

10) Rossi model 92

11) Marlin 1894

12) Savage 24

13) O. M. Mossberg

14) Virginia Dragoon

15) American Derringer

16) Bond Arms

17) Armi San Marcos

18) Pieta

* I'm thinking one or two more imports, but If I can't remember who made them, I can't claim them! I also have had several more 38 Specials, but only 357's count!

List how many you can remember THAT YOU OWNED! (currently and in the past)

[HOUSTON RICK]

My 357's are all still with me. They are not rare, overly expensive or militarily significant, but they are my shooters.

 

[MCorps0311]

My .357"s Revolvers
S&W -1--686-6--4.2"
Ruger -2--GP 100 MC 4.2" & SP 101 3"
Taurus -3--65 4"--66 4" & 605 Snub

[Ματθιας]

I have an early Desert Eagle in 357mag.

 

[44wheelman]

Texas Longhorn Arms, a Grizzly LAR, a couple DW’s, and the usual Colts, s&w’s, & Rugers.
No rifles yet, but got an eye out for a Miroku 1892.

 

[505Gibbs]

Henry Repeating arms has a couple at least.

 

[JBTrucker]

686-6 Plus
65-4 sold last year
581 sold 2001

 

[Farmer17]

For a revolver, why own anything other than a nice, vintage Smith? I do have stainless Ruger Security Six for something different, and a Rossi M92 for a rifle and I like them both a lot.

 

[loknload]

My .357 collection is not a lot,,, this is all I have!
S&W 686 2 1/2”
S&W 686 4”
S&W 13. 4”
Ruger SS New Model Blackhawk 6”
Ruger SS Security Six 4”

 

[Luvmine]

S&W 27, 586 and 640
Colt King Cobra. Will add a Python when things calm down.
All of the above are newer models.

 

[GyMac]

I had a Ruger Blackhawk, S&W Models 19, 28, and 586, Dan Wesson Model 15, and a Colt Python. All gone!!! Arrrghh!!!

 

[gwpercle]

Bought new in 1971 Ruger Blackhawk

" But one gun is all you need if you can use it ." ..... Shane

I have learned how to use it , I still have it and see no reason to change the situation . The old Blackhawk suits me just fine .

[Targets Guy]

Model 13-2
host pics online

Model 19-2


Model 28-2


Model 60-15
a friend is someone who poem

Model 65-8

 

[crazyphil]

I had a model 27 but someone liked it better than I, so I let it go.
Picture on the left.

I had a Taurus model 605 but didn't even bother taking a photo.

Had a Ruger SP101, shown 2nd from left with my LCR keeping
it company, but culled it out.

Had a S&W model 60, 3rd from left, with my 642-1 keeping it company,
but culled it out too.

Still have my model 19, 4th from left. They will have to peel it
out of my cold dead hands.

 

[oddshooter]

I have lots of the models listed, but was hoping to find one not listed yet.

I'll add to the list an Arminius out of Germany.
I've only seen 2 Arminius's that were not ugly and poorly made. I have one of them.

It's an old SAA with 7 1/2" barrel and fixed trough rear sight. Shoots absolutely fantastic out to 100 yards. That's why I've still got it.


Prescut

 

[St0rmshad0w]

OP, you earned the bragging rights! i only have Colts, SW and Dan.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

VERY SHORT LIST

Smith & Wesson

Ruger

Colt (briefly, but mostly I took it to sell for a friend)

 

[7tenz]

Mid 1970's Ruger Police Service (Security Six w/o rear sight) for a few years.

C.O.P. 4 barrel derringer mid 80's. Piece of junk. Had it for a little while until I tried it out. Couldn't hit an adversary with it if farther than 10 feet but that's probably it's intended use anyway. Too heavy and blocky to conceal.

Mid 80's graduated to 44 mag and never looked back. Not knocking the 357. We all have our prefs.

 

[roguegamma]

Smith and Wesson
Colt
Ruger

 

[gemihur]

357 anyone?

Does a maximum count?
Here's a couple:

 

[mikerjf]

One Model 19, my first gun. Long gone.

 

[roguegamma]

686 no dash 8 3/8"
66-1 4"
Model 19 K Comp
Ruger Police Service Six
Colt Python
Ruger Super Blackhawk

 

[lrrifleman]

Not in order of acquisition:
S&W Model 27-2 with 8 3/8" barrel (not original owner)
S&W Model 686-6 3" barrel (original owner)
Colt Trooper MkIII 4" barrel (original owner)

 

[Just another 22 shooter]

Pretty easy question for me:
Colt Trooper
Cot Python
S&W 27
S&W 19
Dan Wesson 15
S&W 586 ..4"
S&W 586 ..6"
The only one I still own is the last one on the list.

 

[Fishinfool]

HAD: Colt Trooper
Ruger Security Six, couple Blackhawks
S&W 19, 66 (state issued), 28x2

HAVE: Colt Lawman
Ruger Blackhawk
S&W 586, 28

Except for duty use, and PPC (38 spl use), I have always been more of a .44 mag guy, mostly in N frames and RSBH's.

Ivan - How about the strange looking Italian Chippewa .357 revolver, forget the name, with the upside down barrel?

[steelslaver]

I have had a Ruger Blackhawk, a couple security sixes, and a High Standard.

I now own about a dozen S&W 357 AJ some Ks and mostly Ns. Interestingly no L frame 357s. All my L frames are 44 5 shooters, all but the 69 being specials.

I just can't wrap my head around pistol carbines. Not that I wouldn't mind having a 45 colt lever gun, but I don't see an advantage over small bottle necks. Not enough velocity to take advantage of the longer barrel like even a 30-30. 30-30, 170 gr at 2200fps plus from a 16" barrel. 357 mag 158 gr at maybe 1800fps

 

[Roberto Renauld]

Revolver I had in .357 Magnum caliber,
S&W Model 19-2 4" barrel blued
S&W Model 27-7 6" barrel blued
Venturini .357 Magnum with 51/2" barrel SA (replica of Colt SAA), blued with bronze parts and enhanced flamed blued finish, made in Argentina
RR
