Rodentman, Congrats. Isn't it amazing how tight all the gaps are? I always marvel at how well the FAs are put together.

Parasite, I trust we'll be seeing some pics when yours arrives? You don't see all that may 10 inchers.

Good grief, the guy who I just got the 10" 44 Mag off of says he has a pristine model 83 Premier grade 357 he says he will sell me and I can pay for it anyway I want to over several months. I love my Smiths, but I may be selling more of them.

Don't forget pics of the 10" please

Great revolvers; a bad idea for a cartridge that mandates responsibility. A single stray round loaded to 60 kpsi that somehow winds up in a S&W M60 or even an M27 could cost someone their life.
I'd definitely keep the revolver but have it rechambered to .356 GNR so this kind of accident can't happen.

I think the only limit of a Freedom Arms 357 is the limits of pressure the brass casing itself can withstand.

My Big 10 Inch

Here's my first Freedom Arms I bought used online this past month. A 44 Magnum. Me and my reloads have given it quite a workout since. I'm more than pleased with it. An utter joy to shoot and own. Now I need to find some nice, reasonably priced grips............and maybe a conceal/carry holster.

Forgive my ignorance. As l read this,a 353 is nothing more than a hot loaded 357. lt would be easy to get the 2 mixed. Sounds like an accident looking for a HOME

They used to call them a 353 before the model 83 was designated. The 83 refers to it being a full sized framed gun. They are now called a model 83, 357 caliber.
