.357 Magnum survey

[ISCS Yoda]

Posts are not needed but feel free. Due to a different thread I decided to see what the average number of .357 Magnums is amongst Forum members, or get an idea of the average number, anyway.

Simple question - how many .357 magnum revolvers do you own, and that's any brand.

 

[DeathGrip]

I'm glad you specified revolvers. I was about to count ammo.

 

[mike from st pete]

One Lone Magnum

Yes that's all I have. Just the one.
But it is the Ultimate Combat Magnum a 681 with no dash. Owning this there isn't a need for any others.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

EEK! I left the word revolvers out of the poll question. SORRY!!!!

 

[Gunner99]

I have four;

686 plus 2.5 "
586 4"
19-3 4"
66-1 4"

I voted where it said 4 or less, in my case 4 means 4.

That's kind of my take on it too...practicality. I've got a 586 4" and an 8-shot 627 PC snub. I can't really imagine what I'd need beyond that. Besides, I can only carry one or two at the most.

M65, 640-1, and a Colt .357. (Used to have a bunch more, but I've been trying to quit...)

The Colt:

 

[Eddietruett]

Model 13 3" Nickel
Model 13 3" Blue
Model 27 6"
Model 27 8 3/8"
Model 65 3" (2)
Model 66 2.5"
Model 66 3"
Model 66 4"
Model 586 6"
Model 686 2.5"
Model 686 7"
Model 686 8 3/8"
Think that's 13 for me

 

[Sevens]

Haha, your editing snafu compromised my answer. I'm 7+1 in revolvers versus semiautomatic .357 Magnums. I chose 8, dangit!

 

[keith44spl]

Four or less........used to be more, but


I've 'bout turn'd em all into 44s & 45's

three 3.5" 27-2 Blue
two 4" 27-2 Blue
one 8 3/8" 27-2 Blue
two 4" 28-2 Blue
one 6" 28-2 Blue

I currently have 4...three Model 19s and a Model 28.

Over the years I've owned a lot of .357 Magnums but honestly it is a caliber that just has never thrilled me all that much. In N frames I prefer caliber that begin point four. In J frames full house .357 are painful. It does shine in medium framed revolvers like our beloved K frame. Most medium frames have enough weight to tame the recoil and they carry pretty well. But even in my K frames I find the .38 Special to really be the ideal caliber. It has enough power to do most jobs and does it well. If I need more power I tend to skip over the .357 and move up to a .44 Magnum.

But of course that is just me.

I am at WAY more than 20

The Model 27/327/627 family of revolvers is what I started with

My first revvoler bought new in 1977 and I still own it

Some of my S&W Model 27, 6 shooters

Some of my S&W S&W Model 27, 8 shooters

Some Pythons

This is probably half of then.

There are 3 or 4 lever actions, an LAR Grizzly, Desert Eagle, several single action revolvers, perhaps 8 or 9 J-frames, several more commemeratives

Now that I am actually looking at this list, it is more than I thouht I had

 

[curtmini14]

i have some sheelguns and 2 lever 357s do they count

 

[petepeterson]

28-2
19-3
60-15

Rossi Lever gun.

If I go to the gun store today, I might change my vote!

 

[Xfuzz]

I have kept two, model 19-2 and a model 66..4 inch.
Going to add one more and go with a Colt SAA in .357.

 

[muddocktor]

I have more than 8 357 revolvers, plus a Coonan Classic 357 Mag semi auto and a Rossi 92 SRC rifle.

 

[500SNW]

Sounds like lots of us have Rossi 92's

 

[smithman 10]

Two .357s

My recently acquired Model 13 and a Rossi Puma in .357 that some previous owner really tuned up - nice trigger, feeds .38s just as well as .357.
