Thinning the herd. One .357 will go.

[Drm50]

I've sold out my 357 horde too, in last year. Sold all my 19s, a 586 and a 27. Keeping one m27 and rest are going to market. Somehow seems I've slid into .45cal models. I'm kinda fat on them.
My plan is to keep one each and only shooters. Safe Queens go first. If I had any sense I would keep K22, m27, Ruger SBH, Colt 1911 and convert all the money from sales into Travelers Checks printed on Asbestos.

I would not sell either one. I am keeping all that I have at the present time because all are too hard to replace at a reasonable price, especially the vintage pre lock Smiths. And I believe the situation will only get worse in the coming months (maybe years). I have a 686-5 Mountain Gun, 7 shot .357 Magnum made in 1998, with less than 2000 being made in that caliber. It would be very difficult to find another one. Good luck with your decision.

I currently have five.

The part that annoys me the most is that I don't have six.

Just My 2 cents,. I would sell or trade both and get something that starts with a 4. The only 3 would be barrel length.

Thanks to a lot of the replies here, I changed out the stock grips to a set of Altamont Falconia that I had lying around (took them off the 686+ since they didn't conceal as well as the Compac Pros). Went back to the range and shooting the 66-8 with these improved significantly over the factory grips. Bottom line, I'm keeping both. Many thanks, again.

You basic mistake is in thinking that you have too many 357s. I have over 10 and am not inclined to sell any of them. What you need is some N frame 357 and a J frame 357s to go with you K and L frame.

The best solution! Of course I have a hard time letting go of a Smith 357. Glad to hear the grip change improved your shooting so much over the factory grips.

I have 6 .357, 5 S&W and a Colt, ain't getting rid of any of them. I haven't even sold my G19 even tho I might never shoot it again. Don't sell nothing!

I have seven of them, 686 - six shooters, 686+ seven shooters, 586 6 and 7 shooters. 2.5", 4", 6"... I don't need that many, I want them all. None are for resale. It seems silly but I am happy with them.
See the one below... nothing to thin out.

Why are those such beautiful pictures?
