357 Firearms

[BAM-BAM]

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

The .357 Carbine makes a nice light handy utility rifle east of the Mississippi. In my neck of Penn's Woods most field shooting is in small(er) fields or hardwood forests at < 100yds. Plus one pairs nicely with a Smith Revolver........ the 5 shot (detachable magazine), Ruger 77/357 with an 18" barrel,all stainless, synthetic stock and 1-3x20 Weaver shotgun scope is a nice take along for a RZR ride.

Truthfully my 16" Winchester Trapper (no cross-bolt safety) with Skinner barrel peep sight is to nice to take along.

I've had 3 Dan Wesson 15-2s and still have one (along with the 2½, 4 and 6" barrels) and my S&W 360 Airweight

Just to be different, here are my 357 firearms. Maybe not what the OP intended, but they are 357 firearms.

Top to bottom: SIG P229; M&P 40c with Storm Lake 357 SIG conversion barrel; SIG P320 compact.

So there!

357 brands and models I own.

S&W 19, 60, 65 and 686
Ruger Blackhawk
Dan Wesson 15-2, 715 and 714
Colt new King Cobra
Marlin 1894
Rossi 92

Needless to say it’s the caliber I own the most guns of. I actually didn’t realize how many until I started thinking. 12 S&W revolvers alone

I had to go to my inventory to look and it surprised me when I counted them. I currently have thirty .357's but only five brands. Twenty-six are handguns: twenty S&W's, four Ruger's, one Colt and one Coonan Arms. Also have four Marlin lever actions. Fourteen of the revolvers came from the same shop. It's a police supply store. They get police trade-in guns and confiscated guns and sell them cheap.

I have all the usuals Smith, Ruger, Colt, & Marlin. A couple of unusuals western style older Sauer, Astra snub (very good shooter). In the late 1970s, I had a original Winchester 92 carbine in 32-20 that had been converted to 357 magnum and was the best pistol caliber carbine I ever fired. Life got in the way and I had to sell it. I have hunted for a replacement since 1990 and found one in 1998 but the owner wanted $2800 for it. I passed. Not seen one since.

I actually had to make a quick records check to know.
I currently own 13 .357 Magnum firearms.
1 Ruger Security Six 4"
2 Colts: Python and Trooper MK III both are 6"
1 Rossi 92 Trapper
9 S&Ws in K, L, and N frames and various barrel lengths.

I guess I need to buy one more to get away from that unlucky 13?

Better get two so you can maintain proper social distancing from unlucky # 13.
