If you could only have one revolver in .357, what model would it be?

[mauserargie]

my model 66-2, 4 inch, .357 magnum

 

[bigt5150]

686 all the way!

 

[Beans]

27-2 with a 5 inch barrel (which I have)

 

[DHart]

Oh man. ONE??? No way. But among a few, at least one 581 would have to be there...

I carry a 686 Plus 2 1/2" but my all time favorite 4" model 19. Me just an old Cop

 

[OFT]

27-2 x 4".

Hi DHart:
Good to see you back here. I have to agree with you, along with a 4" 686.

 

[DHart]

Hey snowman... thanks for the welcome back. Good to see you here too. I had heard things have changed around here, so I thought I'd come see what was up. Hope you're doing well; my best to you.

Get the real deal....model 28

Colt, Trooper Mark III it is the only .357 Magnum I own. Many good choices out there, but love the one you are with.

The problem is, that if one takes the question at face, there will be many .357s left in a funk in their places of daily repose.

I keep coming back to my 5" half-shroud 686+, which shoots right with, or better than, the pre-27s, pre-28s, 28s, 19s, 66s and 686s, never mind the Rugers and Python [which is slightly more accurate].

Regards,

Dyson

I should add... being especially fond of fixed sight 3" S&W revos, I have another 581 which is even more special to me. It would definitely be among the very few that I would consider as my #1 S&W .357 revolver. My custom 3" 581 by Mark Hartshorn.

DHart: What a beautiful revolver. I mean the pic is great, but the revolver is truly a "custom" gun. A well executed "custom" revolver. I hope you get a chance to excercise it at a range from time to time. What kind of leather does it ride in?

 

[DHart]

Thank you, Bronco. I don't carry this gun, so no holster. There is more info on it here:

Great looking Custom revolver that is elegantly done.

 

[Philblack]

My choice : a 28-2...

 

[C.S.63]

Well it is the only one I own right now.
13-1 Need a second or also an L frame maybe a 619

DHart, nice pictures as always.
for me it would be a Registered Magnum for value and a 5" 627 for use. So if the question was which one I would own strictly for use the Custom Shop 8 shot 627 revolvers are hard to beat.

Model 28

But thankfully I'm not limited to only one.
