.357 Magnum survey

[shocker]

I got a Blackhawk around 1969, but I never shot it much and then only with 38 specials. BTW, it had a canted barrel. I sold it years ago as my main interest was 44's.
Went many years without, then having been so delighted with my short barrel 69, I got it a little brother in the 66-8.

As I tell my friends when they ask how many I have "sufficient for my needs ... and a few more"

Here are a few of my favorites:

A couple of Nickel pre-27s:



A Quigley engraved 27-2:



A few Pintos...







A couple of long-tube ones:



A Group Shot of some of my 3.5"ers:



Heavily engraved 27-2...



A couple of Scoped ones - Old and New:





A couple of pre-war ones...





One of the "Other" Brands:





... and a few K-frame ones:










... Yup... you could say that I like the 357 Magnums...

tengo 3 y todas Smith & Wesson en mi pais las armas son muy caras y las municionmes tambien ,es mi arma favorita y la concidero la mas versatil

¿Cuánto más cuestan los revólveres en México? Aquí en los Estados Unidos promedian de $ 650 a $ 950 para la producción actual de cuadros L y N.

I have only one 357 , a Ruger Blackhawk I bought in 1971 .
But after 47 years of practice , I can shoot it very well. Tiny clover leaf groups are normal.

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.

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.

Unless u want 1 more shot...

Have 2,S&W 327 8 shot pug and a Kimber K6S 2inch either can be my EDC Backup is BG380.

 

[rwt1405]

I get confused as to if it was J frames, K frames, L frames, or N frames?

Then are we counting Rugers, and or Colts?

Then are we counting lever action rifles?

Ok, I see the rifles are out.

Let's just say I have more then I need, BUT, not as many as I'd like.

 

[bmcgilvray]

Then this one showed up a few years back. It might be the favorite.

 

[Decker]

3-Pythons
2-Model 66's
1-Model 19
1-Early Dan Wesson
1-Model 686

All of these were bought way back before prices got nuts.
I'm afraid I've now been priced out of the market and don't think I'll be adding any more.
The good news is that the above stable of .357's makes a great bunch, all in rotation.

I lucked into a 681-2 a few years ago. What a sweet revolver. Unfortunately one of my sons also fell in love with it and he got it as a gift at Christmas. He is still smiling!!!
