[MCorps0311]

Wow there are some absolutely beautiful collection of .357 magnums revolvers here in this forum.

Second gen Colt SAA somewhat scarce configuration.

I grew up when the .357 was revered and feared. It never went out of style for me and remains one of the best rounds available and fills many needs.

I am the current caretaker of these and others. A Mod. 686-3, 2.5", a Mod. 66-2, 2.5" with Gashorn stag grips, a Mod. 66-2, 2.5" , a Mod. 686, 6" no dash and a Mod. 28-2, 6".

OMG, love those Pythons. I think there is nothing scarier than looking down the barrel of a 4" or 6" .357 revolver. They just look nasty and ready to do business. My home defense is a 12 gauge and a 4" .357 7 shot with 4 Tuffy strips handy.

I'm older and the 357 was the feared round. I watched Dirty Harry when it came out and the 44 magnum was awesome but you had to be Clint Eastwood to carry that kind of gun for a carry gun. Even when Magnum force came out no one was manly enough.

I own the Dan Wesson 357, 2.5, 4, 6 and 8 inch barrels. The are interchangeable barrels. I bought a 4 inch 44, when I was in Iraq I emailed them and asked for a 2.5 inch barrel, they said they didn't make one. I sent a bunch of pictures around Iraq and told them if they had any questions let me know. They emailed me back and said they would make me the barrel. So know I have it in 4 inch and 2.5 inch.

Its too ad the market is not big for them. They made a heavy gun, great for buffalo rounds, but its not a small conceal carry gun.

Only 357 magnum I own is a Colt Trooper MKIII. Probably the most accurate revolver I own. And I.m not all that good with a revolver,but this one makes me look good. Nothing fancy just a plain working man's revolver. And the other 357 is a Marlin 1894 that flat out shoots. Not sure what model would have to take a look. Didn't cost all that much. $160 that's all.Kinda freckled but barrel is nice so definitely got my money's worth. My other 1894 is in 44magnum. I calls it thumper. that one was a little more expensive at $240.Frank

Talk to me Deadly

I like my 45Colt, 44Rem Mags, and 44S&W Specials.

My Circa '93 S&W 686-3 357Rem Mag 6-1/2"Bbl holds
a special place. The frame size is nice, the trigger is
very nice, and it is Deadly accurate.

My current 357mag Reload: 148gr LDEWC/3.0grs Alliant
Red Dot/CCI SP primer/357 Nickel Win and Starline
brass/700fps?

As usual no pretty pictures from this guy.

My S&W 19-4 Combat Magnum with Herrett's Jordan Trooper stocks
and a McGivern gold bead front sight.
Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it.

I only have one revolver at this time and it is in .357....

 

[CajunBass]

My first handgun was a 357, a Model 19. I'm pretty sure my last one will be a 357 also. I don't know how many I've owned over the years but I think I've got five of them now. Nothing fancy...just mundane stuff.

Model 19-9

Model 19-1

Model 28-2

2020 Colt Python

Colt MK III Trooper
